My Worst Coffee Shop Experience So Far

In this eye-opening video, I share my personal experience as a blind man with Retinitis Pigmentosa, navigating the challenges of everyday life, focusing on a particularly frustrating trip to a coffee shop.
Join me as I recount the misunderstandings and misconceptions that can occur when people are unaware of the unique challenges faced by those with visual impairments.
The purpose of this video is not to dig people out but rather to educate and provoke thoughts on how we can all be a bit more considered when interacting with people.
This stuff doesn’t impact me at all on a personal level. I just ‘Smile and Wave’. But, my hope is these examples help improve interactions for other disabled people.
