>
> Alaskan wilderness, Sahar began creating jewelry which has developed
>
> into a lucrative side business. In 2001, Sahar found herself teaching
>
> technology classes at the Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually
>
> Impaired, but in 2007, she switched to teaching Braille, her true

> up. Join us as we learn about a woman who refused to be defined by her
>
> disability, creating a life that has affected many.
