[Ohio-Talk] Access the #NFB21 virtual event platform

Tue Jun 29 11:58:09 UTC 2021

There have been numerous updates since last year‘s convention and I would recommend re-downloading, or at least updating the application you already have. You’ll need a username and password, but that should be the same as last year. For new users they’ll need to create it and then sign in. The instructions are pretty easy to follow when signing up for a new account but if individuals need assistance they’re welcome to reach out.

Every day we raise expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
