Michelle Glaze of Foundation Fighting Blindness | accessiBe's Spotlight Sessions

Welcome to our Spotlight Sessions, a series dedicated to conversations with change-makers and people that have made an impact on the community of people with disabilities.
In this episode, we had the opportunity to speak with Michelle Glaze, Professional Outreach Director at the Foundation Fighting Blindness, which aims to drive research toward preventions, treatments, and cures for blinding diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, Usher syndrome, Stargardt disease, Leber congenital amaurosis, and more.
Michelle shared thoughts on the following topics:
1. Her diagnosis of an inherited retinal disease called retinitis pigmentosa.
2. How experiencing vision loss drove her to take action in the community.
3. What assistive technologies have been beneficial and important for accessibility.
4. Why businesses need to improve their online presence with web accessibility.
