I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕
What questions do you have for me about my guide dog Gallop's retirement? I want to do a dedicated Q&A video about the whole thing and I'll be pulling questions from the replies on this comment!
Want more Molly? Watch this next! czcams.com/video/qUpExAJeD7s/video.html
Why do you think he stole food?
I would like to hear the story of you fighting against them saying you couldn't have a dog.
What would you name your new guide dog
Will the retirement be affected by the fact that it might take a while to get a new guide dog?
Where is gallop going to live after he retires?
I need to hear the story about Molly standing up against the service dog discrimination of the school for the blind! The irony needs to be understood.
Definitely
Like, why would a guide dog not be allowed? Did they know that that's illegal?
@@manifestationsofasort they probably didn’t want to deal with them or having to put in guide dog specific infrastructure, and they did probably know it was illegal but didn’t think anyone would go to a lawyer, that doesn’t make it right in anyway but it’s probably why that happened
Same!

Molly you HAVE to share the Miss Teen Canada story. The brief was interesting, but the instant you said “I have to check my non disclosure agreement” you really made it official that you have to tell it. Goodness.
I was one of the people who asked about students having guide dogs, so yes, please do a video telling the story of how you fought that restriction - can’t wait to hear that story! 👏
Me too! I asked. Would love to hear about fighting the discrimination!
Okay, so hear me out: A Collab between Molly and Jessica Kellgren-Fozard where they talk about their negative experiences in beauty pageants, treatment of disability in them and companionship/relationships between contestants. Because both Miss Teen Canada and Britain's Missing Top Model seem like hot messes, especially the ladder. They could definitely be used as negative examples for disability representation as well.
She is booked for the interview series.
That would be a really good collab! I follow both Molly and Jessica so that would be interesting to hear about their shared experiences.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, please!!!!!!!
i NEED this is my life
@@DanSgambelluri is there a list of who Molly is interviewing? I'd love to see it! I was hoping she'd interview Jessica. Also Joy Ross since Joy loves fashion and make up too.
Please Molly give us all the story times: fighting your blind school and Miss Teen International winning and giving up your title!!
I still can't get over gallop retiring 😢
Me either :(
Same
I wish Gallop did not have to retire
Yes, me too! I'm going to miss him.
@@MollyBurkeOfficial will we still see gallop in videos sometimes?
Just out of curiosity why does the word bullying have to be bleeped? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of talking about it? I know it’s not molly, it’s a youtube policy but it makes no sense to me.
I was wondering that too!
When did youtube ever make sense? ;)
It's because it'll get demonitized if it's not bleeped. CZcams's censorship algorithm is very broad right now and tries to censor inappropriate videos about suicide and such (amongst other categories) so, the word "bullying" arbitrarily fits in that spot.
Probably a trigger word.
So weird. Did Molly have to bleep it? That's stupid that it can't be talked about.
My daughter was born blind, she’s 1.5 years old and she’s already in early intervention. She’s a super smart active baby and this gives me sooo much hope for her!
Molly asking: do you want a story time?
Me: YES!! Always! 🤩
i want to hear all the stories. every single one of them.
Lol, I got a good giggle over the question did the kids at blind school date, I mean come on, hormonal teenagers and all 😂.
I want to hear the story about Miss Teen Canada International story, if your comfortable & legally allowed to tell it.
When u get a new guide dog, will you have Gallop & he or she hang out. Are you afraid Gallop will get jealous?
Guide dog isn't allowed to have normal dog in same household.
Normal may teach bad habits to guide dog.
In her initial video about retiring gallop, she said he's going to live in Canada with her parents/her dad
@@Auts1985 Many of my friends with guide dogs have kept their retired dogs as pets when they got new guide dogs. Maybe the recommendations from different guide dog agencies are different.
I think we all need a story about Miss Teen Canada, International. Because, I for one, have never heard Molly mention it before and I would love to hear more about it.
Telling a blind person not to bring there guide dog to school is like telling someone in a wheelchair not to bring there wheelchair to school. It just don't make no sense 😒 and your a school for the BLIND they should allow that
Regarding doing math in braille: How did graphs work? When you had to graph a function, how did you go about it?
You can make tactile graphs. They can be embossed or they can be printed on special paper that goes through a special heater that puffs it up. You can graph your own graphs with tactile graph paper and tactile tape, wiki sticks, or sticky dots. There’s an array of ways to make tactile graphs, maps, charts, etc for school.
I’m blind and basically there was this thing called graph paper which was raised and it had squares all over the paper. Then there were these things called wiki sticks which are these long things that you can stick on paper, that would usually go in between the XNY axis to show like the upwards or downward trend. There were also these things called bump on which are these raised dots stickers as well. To show different points.and they would show the axis we could also put the paper inside the Brailer are right the numbers along the XNY axis.
But why did you have to give up the title?!? Spill the tea girllllll 🍵
It is so incredibly weird to hear Molly say "Mira", since that's my name. Love your videos!
Thats my sisters name too! its also spelled the same way
I never thought about key locks. At my school, blind students use the directional combination locks so instead of numbers the middle piece is slid up, down, and sideways in a specific pattern to open.
Wow. I love so much that Molly is showing me the view of life of a blind person. I am not blind but Molly shows me both the ups and downs of her life . We love you Molly. Also it is very interesting to hear any the school for the blind
I’m picturing a sighted teacher walking in on two students making out and having to be like “Do I just try to sneak away, or should I deal with this”
I swear this girl has so many stories from like the same 4 years of high school while I have issues telling people something interesting about myself
I actually laughed out loud at the blind high fives and "smell you later" 😂
YES to the fact that blindness is on a spectrum. Most people assume it is just darkness. When I tell people I’m blind, they’re always surprised. I have extremely low vision, which makes me legally blind. No vision (darkness) in my left eye, 20/200 in my right.
I know everyone’s struggles with blindness are different. For me, the people around me expect a lot, because they forget that I’m blind. I can’t do what normal people do easily. It’s very frustrating. Because I don’t “look” blind, it just makes it difficult sometimes for people to understand.
I went to blind school also! ❤️ I absolutely loved it. They definitely allowed guide dogs. I can’t believe they wouldn’t allow it at yours - that’s insane!!! We definitely need that story time. Going to blind school was the best time of my life. I wish I had gone for longer. I only went during my senior year of high school after my counselor convinced my mom to send me. Again, they don’t realize the struggles I have, so they just tried to ignore it altogether. I’m thankful that my high school understood the scope of it and worked to get me to the blind school. It was amazing.
I feel like every time something comes up it leads to like 10 possible stories molly could tell about it 😂
Like her life is the most eventful thing ever
Thanks for making this content, Molly, you always make me consider things I NEVER thought about before that Blind people have to face!!
Yes I must hear the story of how u fight the rule about guild dogs at ur school
Happy Holiday's Molly!! You and your Mom are amazing and I love watching videos of the 2 of you together!! Love and Hugs from North Alabama!!
Great stories! BTW I love your hair like this!! I hope you and your family have an incredible Christmas and New Year ❤
In the series where molly interviews other people I would love to hear her talk to someone that went blind later in life. I would imagine it’s harder to learn Braille and O & M outside of a school setting
Usually, you know you're going to lose sight. Molly always mentions how she learnt brail etc when she still had sight, because they could see there was a possibility that she would lose her sight. Its likely most people do that when they know! It's why parents of hard of hearing children are encouraged to learn sign early on!
I can't believe how much I've learnt about guide dogs and what life is like for blind people from Molly's channel, I keep telling my family loads of things that I've learnt. And I'm sooo sad about gallop retiring, when molly said it would be an emotional video i thought no i wont be sad i never get sad from videos but yeah, guess who got so sad 😣 but at least Gallop will be living with her mum and dad
You’re such an empowering influence on us all, thank you!
hi molly! i love you so much you have pretty much kept me going thru quarantine
Yes! I hope some of my questions are answered!
Edit: Oh my God, she actually read my comment! I'm so excited!
You’re such an amazing inspiration to blind and low vision people all around the world! I have looked up to you for years and love the content you make. I would love to make a video with you some day!
Everytime you post it makes my day so much better. Thank you for being you! 💕
Thank you for sharing your story ❤ it's so cool to learn about your experiences!
Sending love from Lithuania 🇱🇹 love you, hope that ur safe and ok !
No matter how much Molly will talk it will still not be enough for me .
Those were great questions! “Regrets are a waste of time.” I love that!
“BLIND HIGH FIVES” is the funniest thing ever😂
why is the word bully bleeped out lol
Probably a trigger word.
CZcams policy
I love the shirts she’s wearing! White looks so good on her!
ALL the stories Molly, we need ALL the stories. 💕
Love you Molly. Really enjoyed this video. You’re amazing
You are so inspirational to the people in the disabled community as well as the blind community. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I still can’t get over gallops retirement, I just don’t wanna talk about but I literally cried and commenting a way 2 long comment about it... molly your so strong, so amazing, so inspirational, and just such and amazing person. I loved this video by the way, and thanks for inspiring me to get through the hard times. I’m not blind, I’m perfectly sighted but your just an amazing inspiration to everyone sighted or “disabled” or not...
Molly I love what your doing. Your spreading information and stoping ingnorance. Your beautiful and amazing.
Yay, I've been waiting for this video!! I love Molly's stories, especially disability related
Yes to all the “If you guys want me to make a video on that”
I love you and all the videos. You do so much for the blind comunnity
Merry Christmas Molly and family ❤❤
I just came back from your part 1 video about the school for the blind with your CVS partnership. That's so cool that CVS is doing that! I've nearly gone blind three times in my life, and until i found this channel it was my biggest fear the idea that someday, i might not be able to get treatment in time or it might not be enough and i'll go blind. So having this channel to watch has helped me a lot. And seeing all of Molly's promotional deals that help blind people are so great, too! It makes me feel like when/if the day comes, i won't be completely lost at sea, if you will. Like this one. I have an eye issue currently that means my vision is almost always diluted looking, if you will, so its already hard to read small print. I have an app that helps me read it on my phone. But its great knowing there's apps out there that will read out labels to you, too!
Good way to start Christmas break
Last time I was this early...oh wait. I’ve never been this early. 😂😂
Literally who would thumbs down this video? People are so strange.
Thank you for sharing, as always, Molly! You’re so lovely and I’m happy you get to spend the holidays with your family!
Molly always asks if we want to hear about certain stories, and honestly my answer is always yes to whatever you wanna share, girl! love all your storytime vids
Thank you for sharing Molly!
You’re absolutely beautiful ♥️♥️ girl!!!! I’m going to miss Gallop so much in the videos :((
Thanks love!!

Why do I love the word _petite_ so much 😂🙃
Literally just stopped this to order the mug!! It’s so cute I can’t wait til It gets here. I love you and gallop so much! I’m sad to see him retire but I’m so happy he will still be apart of your life with your parents! I will forever cherish this mug especially now ❤️
YES! Love hearing about more visibility for blind sport. I coach sport for kids with visual impairments & always like seeing more people talk about their experience as a blind athlete.
I would be interested to hear about your transition back into 'regular' high school from the school for the blind. Was it challenging?
Definitely want to hear the story about you fighting the school concerning guide dogs.
Yay! Welcome back home to Canada! We love you!
Hi Molly, absolutely loved hearing about your experiences at the school for the blind. As a blind student who has never been to one it was really interesting to hear about!! I’d love to hear more about it 💜 🐝
Stay safe and Merry Christmas!
You too!! :)
molly: everyone in my class wanted to date me...
me: that sounds like the opposite of a problem
Please Molly give all the stories you have. Its so entertaining, funny and we always learn something about it =) Love you!!
You are absolutely amazing and strong. Sending lots of love and prayers your way from Saskatoon Saskatchewan Canada
Please do that story time! I am interested!!😁😁
WAIT I wanna hear the story of you fighting the guide dog thing!
I want all of these stories!!!
Hey Molly love these sit down videos
Hey Molly it’d be great if you could do a part two of the q and a of school for the blind.
I’m wondering what was the course work like for you? Did they teach Braille at the school for the blind especially for older kids who wanted to learn braille? Could you chose what kinds of courses you could take?
I went to the school for the blind in my state for dummer camps and oh my goodness their place was LITERALLY HOGWARTS I WAS LIKE WOAH :OOO
Dude that’s literally how it was for me when I stayed at the school for the deaf in my state. I never wanted to leave!!!!
Molly speaks really clearly so the auto captions are half decent. Much appreciated
Very excited for that eventual goal ball video!
Am I silly or was "bullying" bleeped out?? Why??
Yea, i think probably because it could be triggering for some people
Or it could be YT guidelines
@@madelinedemots8712 but it wasn't bleeped out in previous videos. Could the rules/guidelines have changed in a matter of days regarding that then? I think your first comment might be closer to the truth ... 🤔
omg I thought it was another word starting with 'f' and got SOOOOOOOO confused LMAO
@@yoeul i was too, then later on i realised
I almost went to a we day thing in high school (but I dropped the class it was related to cause it was a hot mess of a class) I'm interested it what it was. I was actually really sad that I didn't get a chance to go when I found out that you spoke at those events, but I guess I'm glad now.
Glad because?
@@qkndc because apparently we day was not actually as good as it was cracked up to be.
@@summergleason8989 oh ok
Molly you are GLOWING 🥺😍
Congratulations on 2 mil Molly!
I would love the story time about giving up your title!!
I have aphantasia which means that I can’t see in my head or “visualize” and have learned that mental visualization is a spectrum, but I’d love to know if you can see in your head and what your internal “visual” world is like.
I absolutely love Goalball. For someone who loves being active I’m grateful for the blessing to learn Goalball.
I love seeing new content! I’m mad at YT that they keep turning off your notifications however
I like the fact I knew all your answers before you said them, because all my answers were essentially the same--if people are really that interested and have that many questions about the school, I feel like I should maybe do my own video about it since I’ve got plenty of stories about my time there as well… possible collaboration? Just an idea.
I’d like to hear about beauty pageant. Sounds like a story from some movie
You are so inspiring and amazing.
Oh my god. We need more stories!!!!
Why does the word bully have to be cut out?
Probably a trigger word.
Could be against YT guidelines or make less money on ads
I would love to hear that story about how you thought the blind school for guide dog users rights tracing that 10 times fast
Love you Molly!!!
Yay you are back iN Canada!
I'd love to hear your experience with Me for We. My experience wasn't good either!
I wanna hear about your we charity experience. I’ve never heard of them. Maybe because I’m from the states rather than Canada. I’m still interested in hearing about it though.
Hi Molly! Your last video made me cry so hard, I had to stop the video!😭
😮😮😮 very insightful video!
What could I do as a sighted elementary teacher for students who are also blind? Is there anything is particular that you wish your sighted elementary teachers could/should have done to help you or other blind or visually impaired students?
Could you possibly do a video on staying at the guide dog school? I may be getting a guide dog and am very interested in the schooling process,
Your videos are fantastic!
This would be great!
I loved this video 🎄🎄
I would love to hear every story!!!❤️
