MPP 157: Accessibility and Advocacy for the Blind with Eileen Rivera Ley, Owner of Blind Savvy USA, LLC

In this episode, I speak with Eileen Rivera Ley, who owns Blind Savvy USA, LLC. We talk about how she became an advocate for the low-vision community starting at James Hopkins University, then onto advocacy for diabetes, and then onto Low Vision Logic. In 2020, she founded ACE Academy Online which helped those who were blind or visually impaired to be able to have good soft skills, such as networking, to succeed in being the best version of themselves both at home but also in the workplace. WE conclude our discussion with how she partnered with David DeNotaris of Sky's the Limit Communications to provide workshops similar to this for many US states.
