[Ronza Othman]

Hi Rania and all,

I’m Ronza Othman, and I’m in Baltimore City.  I am a blind parent to three of my nephews, who I raised from when they were 3, 5, and 7.  They are in their 20’s now and just recently got off the payroll.  All of them are sighted.

Hi Everyone! 

My name is Rania and I am new to the NFB. For me, blindness started in my twenties, and now in my forties, I am mostly deaf-blind from Usher Syndrome. I get by with a good pair of hearing aids and four furry   paws…his name is Clyde by-the-way.

All my kids, along with my husband, are sighted. My oldest is twenty-five and autistic. (Anyone that has a child on the spectrum knows that this comes with its own set of challenges.) My two daughters are fourteen and eight. 

I am a stay-at-home mom, but also an aspiring author of historical fiction. I’m out here in Urbana, which is a large planned community in Frederick County. There are a couple blind folks out this way, but I am always happy to make new friends!
