1, When and Why did you start your blog?
I was a Freshmen in college, and we had to set up and keep a blog for the semester. I liked the class because we were able to choose the content of our blogs.
2. Did you intend to talk about your disability online from the beginning?
Yes, because my eye condition is so rare, many people haven’t heard of it.
3. Have you ever been skeptical about talking about your disability online?
No, I haven’t been skeptical about talking about it. I was hoping that this would actually help educate the public on the conditions I have.
4. What kind of response have you/do you receive in terms of your disability related blog posts?
For me its been positive, and a lot of people have came forth to say “Thank You,” because they have one of my conditions themselves and they stated they no longer feel alone.
5. Do you write/Talk about other topics apart from disability?
I’m trying out different topics, and I love learning about what other interests my audience have besides disability related topics.
6. What steps do you take to make your blog accessible to yourself as well as other people?
I love using WordPress, and for me, this has been the easiest platform for me to blog on. I try to make the blog accessible to others by reminding myself of the color scheme and the size and style of font that I use.
7. What is your favorite thing about blogging about your disability?
The fact that I can use this platform to help educate the public about the myths and true facts that surround disability.
8. What are your top three favorite disability related blog posts that you’ve ever published?
My three favorites would be:
1.Call to action: Come help make a big splash for a big impact!
2. Nystagmus Tag (Nystagmus Awareness Day)
3. Jessica and Diesel: the freedom continues
9. Do you think that the disabled blogger/YouTube Community is overlook?
Not really, I think there are a lot of other bloggers and YouTubers that are making a difference to help stop the stigma around disability. However, we still have a long way to go when it comes to continuing to making the facts more positive rather than negative facts known.
10. Do you find it difficult to think of new disability related content to publish?
Sometimes I do. However, I have a lot of great role models out there who are providing great ideas.
11. Do you think that blogging about your disability helps change people’s perceptions?
I think I am, and I’m proud to help shine some positive light on what people with disabilities can do.
12. Who do you Tag?
I would like to Tag the following bloggers to complete the tag:
Well Eye Never (Glen)
Life’s Journey (Jessica)
