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 Jessica Normington, Director of Development and Communications at Blind Industries and Services of Maryland (BISM), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing career and training resources to blind residents of Maryland.
Jessica shared thoughts on the following topics:
1. How BISM empowers students and adults to be independent.
2. Misconceptions about blind people and how to overcome them.
3. What businesses can do to hire and accommodate blind employees.
4. The power of advocacy and technology for creating change.
