> Following up from my last email, ms. Mesenger is specifically now looking to talk with blind Americans who don’t hold leadership positions in our organization, maybe people who found and reached out to us for support because of this issue. This isn’t because the leadership perspective is not respected, but because, I think, she is getting plenty of it. Think of it as a good way to highlight how we impact the lives of blind people whether they are familiar with us or not. If you can put her in touch with such people it will be greatly appreciated.
