[stylist] question

[Judith Bron]

It is not a part of my identity.  I'm a mother, grandmother, PR consultant, 
free lance author and more who happens to be blind.  My identity is what I 
am as a Jew, my accomplishments as a wife, parent, my degree and my other 
accomplishments.  I have MS.  This is a disease.  I do not identify myself 
as a blind woman who has MS.  I think more of myself.
