[NFBP-Talk] White Canes Connect Episode 114 is Now Available!

[David Goldstein]

Hey there, PA Federationists! 

Our latest episode is certainly at treat!

In episode 114 <https://traffic.libsyn.com/whitecanesconnect/white_canes_connect_114_post_d.mp3>, Lisa Bryant and I sit down with Krystle Boateng, the creative force behind Inside Ability Books, a publisher of accessible, large-print children's books. Krystle, who lost her central vision due to uveitis at 19, shares how her personal journey led her to create books that prioritize accessibility through high-contrast text and large fonts.  

The interview explores the profound impact her books have on visually impaired parents and children, with a touching story from Federationist Simone Cooper, who met Krystle at the NFB Convention. Simone describes the joy of finally being able to read to her nieces, thanks to the thoughtful design of Inside Ability's books.  
Krystle also reflects on the challenges and joys of self-publishing, including working with illustrators, navigating the print industry, and building her brand without a large marketing machine. She emphasizes how accessibility benefits everyone, not just those with vision impairments, as teachers, neurodiverse individuals, and librarians have also embraced her work.

Krystle’s book BEDTIME, SLEEP TIME, NIGHTTIME, DREAMTIME, A LARGE PRINT BEDTIME STORY-Reverse Contrast Edition is part of the Keystone Chapter’s Family Fun and Games basket up for bids at the State Convention next week. If you are going to Erie, check it out. You can see all of Krystle’s books at https://www.iabilitybooks.com/ <https://www.iabilitybooks.com/>.
