[nabs-l] disclosing blindness

[Carly Mihalakis]

Afternoon, Kaley,
new entities for whom you may work or study with, 
it seems to me could place people in a sort of 
shocked, overwhelmed space, thus distracting them 
from the shine of your accomplisments because 
people are so emotional about not taking in yiour 
experience via an ocular inputt. What do you 
think of this? I get, though, how it may not be 
relevant in your bio since which ever governing 
bodies may never actually meet you.
I am interested in people's thinking on this.'
