Welcome to My Blind Spot

A message from Albert J. Rizzi, Founder of My Blind Spot

Each of us in one way or another has a blind spot in our lives.  When I first came to be blind,
I found I was forever running into literal and virtual walls—dead ends that blocked my assimilation into the blind community and hindered my participation in mainstream society. Without
my sight, not only did the world become invisible to me, but I learned how it felt to be unseen.
So My Blind Spot was founded.

My Blind Spot is a place where people of all visual abilities can come together and gain a clear view to independence, empowerment, and inclusion. It is our hope to be not just a resource, but a force that empowers individuals and society as a whole: one spot where people of all
visual abilities can find answers and support.

Peace,
Albert J. Rizzi
