Retinal Realities Podcast – Episode 21 – Navigating Blindness with Grace – with Leanne Hunt
Join us in this episode of the Retinal Realities Podcast as we chat with Leanne Hunt, the author of What Every Blind Person Needs You to Know. Leanne shares how her experiences with vision loss inspired her to write this insightful handbook, this handbook is designed to show families, friends and colleagues of the visually impaired how to offer support without being patronising.
Leanne is living with Stargardt’s disease, a retinal condition that progressively leads to blindness.
She has self-published several books, volunteered at various non-profit organizations, pursued a master’s degree, and written on a wide range of topics. Leanne’s accomplishments are a testament to her resilience and passion.
Leanne’s book is available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/What-Every-Blind-Person-Needs/dp/1535454504
