Blind Ambitions

Published: July 29, 2021, 7 a.m.

Before we make our way out of season one, we get to meet another of Rose’s family members. Her sister Lily has come for a visit but not is all what it seems. Recently losing her sight, Lily is first refusing before becoming overly-accepting of assistance. With family, guilt and feeling unsure as to what to do, will Rose move to Chicago to be Lily’s caretaker? Will the rest of the ladies have a successful garage sale? Should they have just discussed layaway before trying to sell their precious items? Let’s dig deep into our emotions and boxes of junk for- Blind Ambitions. For helpful information for anyone facing vision loss or if you’re in the position of Rose and aren’t sure how to help a family member, we’ll also be having a conversation with Swatha Nandhakumar from the American Council for the Blind who will help us understand boundaries, how to help and what she thinks about blind representation in the episode.
