[Ohio-talk] Fwd: More information on Project Empowered Employment, please post and forward

Thu Apr 6 13:07:59 UTC 2017

This message is from my tutor and friend Gabe Vega. He is trying to get a company off the ground that gives blind people a real chance. Please read this notice and do what you can to help spread the word.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
