I am blind in one eye, and someone showed me this CZcams channel and it has changed my life, and put me on a better path. this makes me so happy
Trust me if I could meet you and Lucy in person I am sure we would become great friends.
💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️
❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜
Amazing but you forgot one... "Oh I met this blind person the other side of the country, is he your friend" erm probably not we are not all bff's
Yes Lucy!
This is old video, but I live in a small country and most of the blind people actually DO know each other, because of their common networks :D
No kidding!! Some of my daughter's friends are sighted and knows some people who are blind. But she doesn't know any blind/visually impaired person in Texas, Florida, or New York. And we're in Wisconsin!
I've never even had an in-person conversation with another blind person that I know of
One of the worst comments I've heard "if you're blind why do you need to blink?" Ugh! So the eyes don't dry out, fool! I love your videos you are such a star!
'she doesn't know how to get to Japan'...I just spat my drink all over the place!! good video. I love your dress too.
luciferslefthandlady Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment hehe Happy New Year x
This is great! I'm so glad you're making videos like this destroying misconceptions a lot of people have. You're definitely going to be opening some minds here on CZcams!! :)
StephaniehasStories
She's destroying every stereotype put on the Internet by stupid people.
Example # 1
Blind people cannot cook.
This misconception irritates me so so much.
Example # 2
Blindness happens at birth and it NEVER happens later in life.
Ok if you're not an eye doctor you can't go around believing that.
Usually i can see why people dislike a video but seriously, how can you dislike a video like this? I see no point of view that can justify disliking an awareness video
Haters gonna hate
Hi. This video is very good for teaching people about visual impairment. I am registered blind and, because I am a young adult, when people see my cane, it's like they think I shouldn't have it and so they ignore it. There's also the whole "but you don't look blind" thing... and the "why don't you have a guide dog?" thing... and the "but how can you see the computer?" thing... There are so many misconceptions. I wonder why people aren't educated more about disabilities that aren't necessarily obvious.
ps - your makeup is spot on!! Looking beautiful x
You are pretty and I like your shirt.
I find the blind labelling you talked about very interesting. There's a lot in what you said there. People always want to attach a definite label to people. That must be frustrating sometimes.
I was digging through your channel and what can I say, I really, really love it! I am an apprentice optrician from Germany and we are currently at this topic in school - I'd just wish more of my collegeaus would speak english and be able to watch and understand your videos, because they are really amazing and so much more informative than the ones we have.
Keep up the great work!
I just started watching your videos & I love them! I use a wheelchair & you are such a great advocate for the disability community!
My favorite part was the "i see, but I don't see" 😂 I rly love how you don't take anything personally BC you're right, youre normal perosn
I love watching your videos. You always put me in an amazing mood for the day. Your upbeat attitude to life is just wonderful. You've got a new subscriber.
You are really funny, this video cheered me up which you wouldn't expect as it seems going in that it will be serious. "Blind people don't have any fashion sense- I think I've already disproved that one" YOU GO GLEN COCO. :D
Hi there I love your videos. I am hard of hearing, and I sometimes find it a little difficult to follow what you say in this video. Although I must say that you have REALLY good lip formation, I don't always understand. If you wouldn't mind, could you maybe leave a small transcript of what you say in the description.
By the way, thank you so much for making these videos, my sister recently became legally blind, and channels like yours really help.
Hey! We have transcribed the whole video for you and there is a link in the description to my blog so you can go and view it! Hope it's OK and I'm really glad you get something from my videos! :D
YesterdaysWishes you're heaven *.*

Keep Smiling!!!!!!!!!!!!
My name is Jacqueline and I’ve been Visually Impaired since birth.
My thoughts would be to never give up. There’s always cool technology coming out.
My mom works with deaf and hard of hearing people.

I just started watching your videos and I love them!! My best friend is completely blind (she has prosthetics in both eyes due to retinoblastoma). I'm going to send her the link to some of your videos later!
Don't forget "do you have a helper wit you?" Lol
L.A. G
That comment annoys the hell out of me. Another comment I find to be fucking annoying and rude is assuming Visually Impaired people cannot cook.

This is great! I'm a sighted person who used to work down the hall from the state Bureau of the Blind. I learned very much from getting to be friends with the director and staff. However, you have added much to what they taught me.I love your accent.You are an unbelievably beautiful woman.Speaking of talking loudly, the background music makes you very difficult to hear and diminishes your great video. Nothing in the background is necessary when someone can make a great video like this.I am 55, so I may be a little hearing deficient in the speech range. I've sat in front of trumpets in an orchestra for many years. However, many people in today's world have some sort of hearing problems.Please keep up this great work. I'm now following you and look forward to more videos!I realize that my comments are almost 2 years late. lolBest,Earl Zoseph
Yeah, here's another misconception. My daughter went legally blind 8 years ago. We went to the local food pantry together a few years ago. I signed us and accidently put my last name down for her. Since we'd been going there for a while at the time the people knew us. So the one lady came over (we were sitting together) and asked me if she'd changed her last name instead of asking her. So my daughter pipped up and answered her question. Ok folks, my daughter's eyes don't work, but her mind works just fine. She does not have any brain damage!!!!!!!!! She makes her own decisions. She's mentally fine. Therefore she's not stupid just because she can't fully see things. If someone has a question about her, ask her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been binge watching your videos, you have such an awesome personality, I laughed loads in this. 'YOU HAVE TO TALK REALLLLY LOUDLY'... funny. I've witnessed this and it's usually elderly people talking haha. keep being hilarious! xx
If I had a pound for every time someone asked me if my guide dog is in training. I was in John Lewis with my wife, I said to Usef my guide dog, come on then find Karen Millon. Couple passing by said oh my God did you hear that, those dogs are incredible.
I love your red hair!!! I'm a redhead too but mine isn't so vivid and wonderful! although I do love having natural red hair. and girlll your style is so cute and classic loved all the lace in your closet.
High five mate xD
I am partially blind. I have about 7% vision and I'm planning to do my own CZcams series about my life and I get around in it.
I really enjoyed "Watching" this video.
Keep up the good work!
Awesome video! I have never really thought about a lot of what you brought up!
I love your humor and your voice you do for the questions!
3:00 My dog is like a satnav. Without fail she will always find the nearest muddy puddle and lie down in it.
Thank you for the videos. My BF is blind and we both enjoy watching them. They are very informative for me as a friend, I am learning so much more and continuing to do so. Dianna
You are truly amazing, come from a visually impaired person I can relate to you a lot :)
hey loving your vids! i was recently (11 weeks ago) diagnosed as being Visually Impaired. This vid is awesome and its lovely to see (yes i went there) another redhead rocking blue prints and blindness so stylishly xx much love Em x
A friend of mine is blind and he really doesn't care about fashion so he just has a few pants, some shirts and a couple of shoes and jackets so everything kind of goes together being like grey, blue, black and similar colors. He could be wearing a clown costume and he wouldn't really care. I think he has one fancy outfit for special occasions.
I am blind too, only just found your channel! Love love LOVE you xxxx
I found you from when you picked out your wedding dress. That was my favorite episode of that show. “Red fox in the snow” that was amazing. But ever since then I’ve been watching your videos I love watching how you do things. You put your makeup on better then I do! It looks like a professional did your makeup. When I do it, it looks..well not professional at all lol🤣
Loved your video its helped me to feel more stanger about my blindness of 30 years it freaks me out to be honest glaucoma is the cuprate not much sigt left now i will keep watching your videos gives me hope thank you for doing these videos xx
I'm visually impaired, (Low vision and tunnel vision.) I have a cane, what annoys me is when I ask for directions and people say. "Oh it's over there." Where is over there?
Another thing is when I'm struggling in a place I've never been before on stairs and no one offers to help.
I don't read braille but I have a go with large print books, but the books cost a lot more than a normal standard print size copy.
You'r so awesome. I love your personality and the fact that your so blunt and straight forward. From a fan/subscriber in Australia.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I think the reason people think you can't have a fashion sense is because they wonder how you can match. So how are you able to match? Sorry if this is stupid again.
A: She has a boyfriend
B: She used to be able to see
C: her clothes are colour/style coordinated
D: I think she has a little speaker on her clothes that describe them to her
Thank you for helping me to understand :)
legally blind is different between totally blind. Visualy impaired is a big spectrum. People's senses aren't better because they've lost one, it's just they really depend on it and so therefore because some people are totally sighted and walk around almost getting hit by cars. I had a guide dog he got attacked by a pittbull next door, no leahs/collar. No more dogs period for me. I just don't feel comfortable around dogs because someoen wasn't RESPONSIBLE. You have to know how to get around, you can't expect a dog to do it for you. I grew up in the seventies and alot more people were going to blind schools then, but now not as much, depending, but Overbrook still seems to be pretty big as a blind school so far. *reg school* I don't think there's anything wrong with I see, or watch.. etc. The hardness I had from GEB for my dog was all leather on the outside and the handle was metal covered by leather. Please if you want to help someone whether blind/vis impaired/egally blind, totally blind..etc please ASK first, don't just grab someone and say ohh let me help you then take them across a road, intersection they did NOT want to cross. :))) So confusing. Don't pet guide dog's withot asking. Don't call them, or in anyway try to get their attetion, feed them...etc. Think how you'd feel if someone picked up your contacts when you were trying to cross a street, eat dinner quietly without interuptions, etc. Pls don't see you don't LOOK BLIND, there are degrees of blindness, that is the way it is. :) I'm visually impaired and that's all I wanted to say. I am NOT helpless and noone is that is blind -> vis impaired. :D
I'm also a visually impaired teenager, just subscribed to you and you make really good videos. Don't give up :)
It would be interesting if you talked about the process of obtaining a guide dog in the UK. Covered, out of pocket,private, etc.
I just recently subscribed so I understand a lot of these videos are older. However you forgot another one when it comes to relationships. A lot of people also assume that we must always date somebody with full eyesight because we need a caregiver 24 hours a day. It’s kind of sad that it goes both ways. But I am loving your videos.
Very insightful! Thanks for making this video.
I love your personality! Glad i found your channel :-)
Ohh, I see. ;)
Great video, gave me a good chuckle.
Hello Lucy my name is Jordan money and I found your video on 10 misconceptions of blindness and patient empowerment quite interesting for because I am busy impaired myself and I just I find it interesting thank you
Can blind or visually impaired people like me do yardwork? This would include, mowing the lawn, using a Weedwhacker, a leaf blower, a snowblower, and other things that you would do in the yard.
Why do people have these misconceptions, so many stigmatisms. Good video and lovely girl.
Adam Hathaway thanks so much
Lucy Edwards thank you and never lose that lovely smile.
I see what you're saying. 😊
first video, u earned a sub
Do you see the blob of the camera when you make a video, like do you know where it is?x
+Becky louise I used to when I first started but now I am pretty much completely blind and my boyfriend/sister clicks where the camera lens is so I know where to look! x
the sillies thing ive come across is a driver stopping his care and waving me to walk across with my dog - duh how am I supposed to see that - they get annoyed when I don't respond I'm not blind but I'm low vision and do need a dog
+Maria Mulholland I get this too! When I am out with Olga I think people assume I can see which is so silly because I am blind and have no idea they are waving at me #blindpeopleproblems
Ack! I HATE that!
Or when a kid starts giving me directions on how to do stupid stuff like open a door or go to class
+YesterdaysWishes well ... Gee, you don't look blind!
Lol
Quick question for sighted people: what does "blind" look like!!!?
+Delayna Goodrich being hard of hearing I get so many similar things like "oh wow you don't look deaf" like. Ok?...
+Lauren McGuire It's like, what are we supposed to look like? If I get a braille tattoo on my forehead, or a print one that says "I'm blind," will you cut it out? But I don't think they can help it. We live in an intricate net of stereotypes and societal norms that would be hard, even for a sighted person, to see past.
I love your accent ❤❤
Sorry for waking up so early 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧❤❤
Your video is amazing and very inspirational and I am half blind and I have just ordered my cane because I am getting sick of normal sighted people when I accidentally bump into them
You are the greatest ❤️❤️❤️
Since you are so fashionable do you have a system in place so that you know which clothes are which?
I'm blind I have very low vision and I hate it when people talk to me really loudly it's annoying
My sister wrong this on my account c:
I'm visually impaired and diabetic so I don't have much feeling in my finger tips so like I can't read Braille
Aww you're so beautiful!!! :3
I learnt Braille recently just because
How do you edit your videos? I love you and you are amazing. You are wonderful at doing your make-up.
You're amazing! :)
I love your dress!
awesome
I know this isn't what your video is about, but I'm completely transfixed by your hair color. Is it natural?
You are amazing!
Love your hair color. I might copy you
You are adorable. What is audio boom?
With Jaws and voice over, it matters that I read books and magazines, or no one cares for human voice anymore?
i hate braille!!!! people think i should learn it and i learned a little but when i think about it, who will i write a letter to? i can tell the restroom and thats enough i think. maybe when my sight goes completely ill learn more but i dont like it at all!
Do you have difficulties studying? Do you have someone help you take notes, tests, etc?
1. People either get in my face or shove objects at me "so I can see it better"
2. People take my hand without asking to touch things I can't see...or things they think I can't see.
I can't get services simply because of my acuity in my right eye even though I can't read standard print and am not allowed to drive. I'm not the right kind of blind I guess.
I bet it's difficult to make sure what you're wearing matches. Do you sort your cloths into neutrals, bright colors, and patterns? Or do you just get someone else to tell you if they match?
..She's not completely blind and she hasn't been blind her whole life.
Well yeah, but a girl's gotta buy new clothes, right? And personally, I wouldn't be able to tell one of my own t-shirts from another based on feel. Also, I'm a terribly unorganized person. So, I can imagine if I were bind I would put on mismatching colors because of lack of organization.
SMFortissimo I do know some clothes by texture but I have drawers in my wardrobe to organise different items of clothing e.g: one drawer for shorts, etc. I also have a pen friend and it's this device that you record the item to a sticker that sticks on your clothes and every time you press the pen to it it tells you what it is. Hope this answers your question :)
That's awesome! We really are living in the future, eh? Also, you always look super cute!
use a gps with the voice-on on a an earpiece so it will guide you and consequently you can guide your dog
you are awesome!
When you get the chance look up Perkins Smart Brailler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Perkins Smart Brailler was made in 2014 and it was made for Blind and Visually Impaired people.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
do you take your guide dog to school with you? or do you just have like a helper person? just wondering because obviously your dog is a massive help for you, but I don't know what public schools allow dogs? xx
Aimee Trudgian Public places are not allowed to refuse guide dogs. That would be technically discrimination against a disabled person. It's a-okay to have service dogs in public schools. :D
So what do you see???? Sorry I just find this interesting that you said you can see some color :O
How do you buy clothes? I mean how do you know what suits you? Which color for example? And do you pay more attention to the fabric? I can imagine that your sense of touch is more developed that mine for example. So it might be a bigger reason for you to buy something whether for me its often the color. Well I almost wear black :D But there are different kinds of black :D Everything that you wear in your videos suits you so well. It is perfect for your red hair and bright blue eyes, so sorry that I´m so curious but how do you chose that?
Thank you for answering me.I had recently a good idea how blind people can be more independent at least in their homes if they are messy like me XD I mean you all have to sort things, without some organisation you loose them and I have a good idea how this is possible without leaving things on certain places in case to find them again. I will try to make this idea real and possible for every blind person to be able to use my invention :)
Sharing this video 💜 hate how rude people are to me about this to me xx
I've heard from a vid of yours that around 10% of people are blind. If youre comfortable with telling, I was wondering what your vision was like? Also, love the vids. I've been watching a lot of your short videos recently. It's so interesting and I love your energy in them.
I found out about you from Molly. I'm American but have found out about her cause shes in LA and I was into this LA vlogger vibe and would watch a lot of creators based in LA. Thought it was soo interesting at a time, the LA thing. And well even if I don't know a blind person personally, I also thought the culture around it was interesting as well. Still do.
I'm more into British creators now, after having read a few books with British characters in them. Red, white, and Royal Blue and also Boyfriend Material. Both are LGBT romance books but cute and funny, in my opinion. I really enjoyed them and well it got me into British culture. I'm also into the Zac and Jay show, Max Fosh, and the Anti Social podcast to name a few. All really good vibes and good energy.
I hope you and Ollie are happy and healthy during covid ❤️
She’s blind.
She did a short video on "What blind people see".

Shizzle....hahaha
Can someone please tell me what is the name of the music in this video? And WHY is all over youtube videos?
Robson Cecchin Kids these days?
Robert Clark If think not. I meant the background music while she is talking =(
I've heard it in some many youtube videos this year that I can quite tell
It's public domain music provided by youtube, which means you can monestize the video without music copyright infringement.
♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️
I don't know too much english so sometimes I don't understand many things of what she says and I didn't understand if she is completely blind or no
+LivingDeadDoll259 She is almost entirely blind, but she does have a little bit of vision in her left eye.
+Alana D
Is it offensive to ask what a blind person can see?
If worded in the right way it’s fine.
A good way to ask something like “do you have any usable vision?“. What gets tiring is when people ask things like “so you just see all black?“ Or Doing things like waving your hand in front of someone’s face and asking if they can see that or how many fingers do you have up etc.
what is brail/brale? im new to ur channel
+pinkie-weirdo Brail are raised dot on a piece of paper/plastic/anything hard that people that cannot see text use to read.
oh that's cool
Braille.
I wish I could have her hair color 😀
+Pinwe Latournique Thank you
+YesterdaysWishes what is your natural color? My hair is so dark that L'Oréal's dyes don't work very well on me :( I use something more professional and strong and I cannot reach your hair color
thanks for the recommendations :)
+Pinwe Latournique My natural hair colour is mousy brown with ginger low lights in it x
+YesterdaysWishes gorgeous color :D
aww shame I'm so sorry for u 😥😥😥😥 I'm so sad for u I want ur eye sight to get better!! I don't want u to be blind !!!!
