When people open their stories to others, very powerful connections are made. Enjoying being part of that at the @NFBN 2023 convention!

Many empowering stories at @NFBN including agency staff working to raise expectations. Powerful watching Director Servan encourage blind people. His book hit Audible this week httpscc//www.audible.com/pd/B0BZ16H1XL?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=pdp
