[stylist] Intro- Vivian Majors

[Judith Bron]

Vivian, Wow!  Your bio reads like an actor's, author's, director's or anyone 
else in the performing arts wish list.  You have been going through vision 
loss for some time now but adapting totally to this loss of vision and to 
some extent the loss of perceived independence requires hard work.  Been 
there, done that .  I guess you have to keep on believing and knowing that 
you haven't changed, but your abilities have been altered.  You are still 
you.  This is what you bring to groups like NFB and other groups that 
support the blind.  Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Judith Bron

> STYLIST members, I would like to introduce a new member of this mailing 
> list
> and soon to be member of the Division, Miss Vivian Majors. Vivian is new 
> to
> blindness and is needing our help as she deals with the changes that are
> rapidly coming into her life. As a new member, she would like all of us to
> know something about her background and toward that end she has provided 
> me
> with a short document that I will paste in below my intro.
>
> First, let me tell you why I am providing the introduction. Though 
> Vivian's
> vision has decreased slowly over the years, it has been only recently that
> her ability to read and travel has become a serious problem. She is now
> working with the rehab services in her home state of Georgia, but doesn't
> yet have the low vision soft and hardware that has been prescribed. So 
> doing
> email is a pain, because she has to highlight and increase the font of any
> thing presented on a computer screen. Yet, she wants to hear from us! And
> she instinctively knows, the best guidance on blindness comes from those 
> who
> live it.
>
> Second and here is a very interesting fact about Vivian and is of special
> interest for us! Vivian is a 10 year plus, connected independent business
> woman who is an agent and/or promoter and producer of film and TV scripts
> and well.More. Check out her bio and company description below. She is
> especially interested in seeing what this division and the Performing Arts
> Division has going; are there any of us who are interested in her 
> services?
> She sees that we have mutual needs- blindness on her part and
> writing/publishing on ours.
>
> I will also suggest, that our April telephone conference has Vivian as our
> main guest.
