I have a gift when it comes to fashion. In fact, after I lost my complete eyesight 11 years ago, I thought my love for fashion and shopping was over. No way! It has only developed more beautifully! I have learned that you don’t have to have eyesight to have vision! I can visualize looks in my mind and bring them to life. Since I have had some but very little usable eyesight growing up, I have learned all my colors, and still to this day can recall them all so vividly with my minds eye. You should go to my playlist on my channel, “shopping Blind with Joy“, and check out how I shop for clothes completely blind. :-)
Thank you so much for this. I would be so nervous helping someone who is blind so as not to appear ignorant or unhelpful. I mean, I know the basics not to touch people without their permission or to pet their dog but thats about it. I would just ask everything, "is this ok?" "is that ok" and probably be annoying!! lol
lambchopxoxo "What do you want me to do?" Or "What do you need?" Will get you far. My experience, as long as you are open, friendly and willing to learn, you will get there. And don't be afraid if you mess up, I once told my blind friend to get me the purple item out of a row, we just laughed about it.
The cpr/aed class I’m teaches us some tips for guiding the blind. Always ask permission if you’re going to touch them. Over long distances tell them where they are and how close to the destination. Tell them if people/ obstacles are coming. My college campus has a decent sized blind population and has audible crosswalks.
Thanks for wanting to help! The WORST thing to do is to push -- however gently -- the blind person in front of you, even in a narrow passage. That risks you missing an obstacle. It's safest to offer your elbow, so the blind person can follow closely behind you.
oh jesus...lemme go crack a couple eggs so i can give you some more eggshells to walk on, you timid,subservient friggin' DOORMAT! youre HELPING somebody else! either they take it and be grateful for it or they can go fuck themselves (handicapped or not)
i loved the subtle way your daughter moved your arm towards the camera so she made sure she was speaking to it. Your daughter and your dog have a lot of love for you and it’s so heartwarming to see ❤️
I used to worked at a grocery store in the front end/customer service desk, and there was a blind man that came in quite frequently, and would ask for assistance shopping (he didn't have a guide dog btw). He would always come straight to the desk, with a buggy, which was super handy for helping him. What I would do is basically walk beside him and guide the buggy around while he was holding on to it. Then he just told me what he needed and we would go around and shop. He came in during hours that were never busy, and was very patient if he had to wait for someone to be available. The store I worked at was pretty large, and a bit higher-end, which is why it was acceptable for an employee to basically be someone's personal shopper for half an hour. My supervisor would just take over the customer service desk position for that time, or close down a cashier lane and get them to help out.
I know you wrote this 10 months ago, but reading it seriously brings joy to me. I mean I barely see anyone as nice as you or any others who help those who are in need. That’s really awesome how you helped and I’d like to hear maybe the rest of the story or stories!
I've been assisting a blind 9-year old in church for several months now and it's interesting to see the variety in preferences when it comes to guiding! He personally loves to be guided by touch, he'd reach out for my fingers and tell me to guide his hands to something. When he reaches out, I know that he's reaching out for my hands. He's so full of joy and his favorite thing to feel around are car seats and car doors. He said that the one thing he'll do the most of he gains sight is to drive a car.
its cool that you say your not offended by words like see. my uncle has been in a wheelchair since he was like 3 or 4, and he say things like hes gonna go out for a jog or run to the store
I think you shouldn't pet *ANY* dog when you see them outside for a walk. It always seems so rude to me, people have places to go and things to do. They're on a walk, just leave them. lol
Ellie Lannister oh come on I love when people come up to me and pet my dog when I'm on a walk. If I have somewhere to be I'll tell them "sorry I'm in a hurry". It's not that big of a deal. Don't be such a stick in the mud. No fun allowed 😑
Just wanted to say thank you! I’m a flight attendant and I’ve been able to watch a few of your videos to learn more about supporting blind and visually impaired passengers on board the plane. :)
Joy is so beautiful inside and out. Her Husband is a very blessed man to have Joy in his Earthly life. Joy is just such an amazing Human Being God Bless Joy and her Family Amen xxxxxxx
Joy you are my favorite TH-camr. I watch your videos all the time. So very interesting learning about the blind. I love watching you shop! You have great fashion to!
Thanks for this video, Joy. This will be very helpful in making sure I'm respectful and helpful when encountering a blind person at work. Great tips and I love your videos!
Neptune Vibe If the world was set up for visually impaired people it wouldn’t be an issue. It’s just that majority of the world is set up for sighted people, ignoring the needs of all people, that makes it difficult. There’s nothing inherently ‘less than’ about someone who is blind. Rather than pity I think it helps to put it back on society and spread awareness and think about how society needs to change.
Service dogs are so cute! They are such good boys/good girls you want to pet them and do that silly "good boy" talk, but you know you can't do that because they're working and can't be distracted, and it suuucks! Lol I just think they're so adorable. Antonia is so cute. She looks very proper and attentive. Looking straight ahead and waiting for a command. Even when she's wagging her tail- you can see she's still in work mode. I bet she's very good at her job!
I️ just subscribed a few days ago and have been binge watching your videos! Watching you is such a mood boost, and you are such an amazing advocate! Thank you for being the sunshine we all need!
A few months ago at my job(I work in retail) an older gentleman came in and he had a walking stick and stood in the middle of an aisle he seemed lost and he explained to me that he needed help picking up his prescription as well as leaving the store. This was my first encounter with a blind person I was trained on how to deal with people with disabilities and I didn’t want to screw anything up and I asked him to follow me and he joked with me saying how could he follow if he can’t see so I asked if he can place his hand on my elbow as I walked with him to the pharmacy to get his medication and walked him outside the store and onto the sidewalk as he waited for his ride and I was afraid I messed up but not offering my elbow first. This video did shed light on how to properly approach someone who is blind so thank you very much for this. This is an extremely helpful video.
Whenever I see guide dogs I always offer help whether I'm a customer or at my job. Its really easy to show them around since I am in a wheelchair and they can just hold on to the back of it.
Amazing video. This is spot on... I have a couple of blind friends and they complain about this so much. I consider myself very lucky because I got to learn all of this with them and I now I can actually be helpful to strangers!
Great advice! I hate it when people grab me and pull me and also when they point and sometimes get frustrated that I can't see what they're pointing at. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for your very educational and informative videos. I specially enjoyed the part where you said sometimes you forget your blind. I lost my left eye to cancer and I also have a prosthesis. While I can see fine on my right eye sometimes I forget I can’t see on the left. Something rolled under the refrigerator, I got down on my left side looked under the refrigerator and then realized I can’t see out of that side. Thank you again.
just 'saw' this. you are amazing. i imagine your confidence and ability is why some people have difficulty in recognizing you as blind. (the uber/taxi episodes). luv you!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have watched a number of your videos, and one thing I realised quickly was that I had no idea how to help anyone visually impaired! Thank you for teaching me!
Lovely video Joy! I reacted a bit when you mention the part about petting your guide dog. I was raised to never ever approach a Guide Dog, pet it, gesture towards it or speak to it due to the fact that it's indeed working. When it comes to non-working dogs, if I want to pet it I always ask the owner before doing so. If the owner says no it doesn't matter what the reason is! Hate people who just walk up and starts petting dogs without asking for and waiting for permission. :(
As a visually impaired person at myself. I think it is a great thing educate people about the proper way to handle interactions in contact with. I don't think there's nearly enough awareness or education around about it and that's why I think it's such a great thing about you take upon yourself to use your experiences to educate others.
I really appreciate this video! There have been many times I’ve wanted to help someone but felt embarrassed because I wasn’t sure how or the boundaries. Thanks!
Joy Ross my parents taught me to always ask how I can help but it’s nice to have the descriptions of exactly what would help best. If you ever come to Cincinnati Ohio I’d love to show you around
Watching your videos you're really inspirational and amazing I wish you the best. Your positive attitude really is unusually touching me personally considering I was a puppy walker for Smithtown foundation for the blind and to see you with the dog is gratifying Best wishes to you and your beautiful family
I really want to work with the blind as a career and videos like these are extremely helpful! I’m also trying to learn braille as well! Thanks for this!
Thank you so much for this video. Honestly I feel like doing these videos help everyone out there to be more compassionate and understanding and most importantly helpful. You are making a change in the world, awesome job!
Thank you for this video it is very helpful to anyone who has never interacted with a blind person before. You are a beautiful person, Joy! In every way and you have a wonderful daughter there. I'm sure she is going to be a great asset to our society. Just like her momma. I'm a new subscriber and these vlogs are so helpful to understand as best I can from the blind person's point of view. It's awesome that you make them . You are full of Grace and I'm inspired to say the least. Thanks again, bye bye!
Thank you so much for these super educational videos. I feel much more prepared to help the visually impaired. This is very important to me seeing as I work retail in a mall. You never know who you’ll meet or what they live with so it’s awesome to have this info handy. (Also YOUR GUIDE DOG IS SO CUTE!!! Such a good doggy!!!)
Love your videos joy! I'm so glad I came by your channel I fell in love with your videos♡ i have learned a lot and definitely know way more about guide dogs and I admire you so much joy for being such a strong independent woman so loving and happy. You push your self and you dont care I love your attitude ♡♡♡♡
I have a friend who is blind and I met her about two years ago and I learned alot of things from her and to this day I still feel like I have more to learn.
This was really helpful! If it happens in future that I will meet an individual with a vision impairment or blindness, I will use these tips. Though for the working dog part, that has happened to me already with my Service Dog in Training. People have tried petting and speaking to her, even calling her over with kissy noises. I hope it does not happen again! xx
Thank you so much! I live in a city and I had to help two blind people for different occasions. Sometimes they look like they need help, like the last one I helped didnt seem to be somewhere he goes often so he was going into the wall and things like that. I offered my help but I am always scared to offer it the wrong way!!! He was so glad I did though. So many people walked by him and didnt do anything to help, it is sad too! ❤️❤️❤️
Joy, you are both cute and beautiful...but I must stress that this is on the inside as well! Really enjoy your videos! They are a little sunshine in my day. Your daughters (and your puppies) are so sweet as well. I should know, I have three beautiful daughters in their twenties, and a happy Saint Bernard.
Great vid :-). What I would like to add is that a blind friend of mine who uses a cane and has no dog prefers to put her hand on the shoulder of the anonymous person assisting her rather than taking the elbow. So, that's an alternative if either one of the people are maybe not comfortable with physical contact. When my friend and I are in a crowded bar we basically just play cho-cho train so she will walk behind me with both of her hands on my shoulders while I plow the way through the people for us. Also, a bar we like has the world's worst spiral stairs down to the restrooms and we haven't died yet, so that may seem like a solid strategy for some situations. Just adding my two cents :-).
WhatAStrangeDuck honestly you are such a good friend for assisting them!!! In addition to that, I wish I had a friend to choo choo train around the bar (and I’m a person with sight) keep being you!
U are an amazing person and have a great attitude and personality a true inspiration. I’m so happy that ur doing so well in life despite your limitations. Wish you the best for you and your family.
You are beautiful. My mother was legally blind for two years, but fully blind now. It's hard when I bring her to go grocery shopping. Thanks for these vids! always wish u the best ✨😊
Thank you! This was really informative, really enjoy your videos as it shows a different view of the world and only simple considerations that are helpful.
Rเи鈴木 yes, antonia passed away last year on december 20 from a kidney disease. she was almost 12 years old... she was a wonderful dog. the blind woman, joy, has another dog named arabella that guides her now.
@@ezraleite7260 omggg noooo, that's awful. Her old vids appeared in my recommendations and I started watching her and loving the dogg even more. She was so smart
I have no idea how this video popped up? I am happy that it did. Now I am informed on how to properly speak/help a blind person. I would never think to offer my elbow? Also I think it’s so crazy that a lot of blind people are so freaking beautiful?!? Also I love her personality! She is just too cute! So is her daughter! 😍
Very Good video Joy ! It goes to reinforce some of the positive comments I've made on a couple of your other videos about the need for Clear Communication with a Visually Impaired person, this will let the V.I.Person know that we are there to help keep Them Safe in an outdoor or indoor environment. When Guiding someone, we are taught to be about half a step infront of them at all times, let them take our left arm ( If they have their Guide Dog with them ), and guide the person by using small movements of our left arm as we walk, such as moving our left arm behind our body when accessing narrow spaces such as doorways. This action causes the Guided person to walk in file behind us and get safely through the environment. Another more sensitive point when conversing with a Blind or V.I. person, talk with them as if they are sighted, we don't really have to adapt our methods of conversing, talk to them using day to day phrases such as " See you later " or " I was watching t.v. last night . . . . . " Don't be scared to use ordinary language, it relaxes the two of us ! Great video, keep up the good work Joy, Isabella and Antonia ! Mike.
You and your daughter are so beautiful and your home is amazing. I really enjoy watching your videos because, you give off such a positive vibe. Thanks for being so informative and I’m sending you and your family much blessings for 2019.
this video helped me quite a bit. There is a girl on my hall in college who is blind and I always am at a loss for how I should approach her if she needs help or not. My RA does a great job escorting her to the dining halls and what not, but sometimes she has students help her out too. One time she had asked me for directions and I really didn't know how to give her accurate descriptions of where to go, and after I gave her directions I completely out of habit said "see you later" and I felt awful... I did not mean to say something that would be offensive but as seeing individual I rarely take into account the way that sight impacts my life, and I unfortunately was slightly rude and inconsiderate to someone who does not have sight, even though that was not my intention. I really just want to be able to be a good peer to my friend and also respectfully interact with people who are blind or hard of sight. Thank you so much!
This video helps me due to the fact i work different security jobs i do event security which i do even up noticing blind member of public and know i now how to handle the moments when needing them to move.
How to blind people have such good fashion? She and Molly Burke always look so good in their videos!
Mikey Gaming i have to figure its a lot of neutral pieces that can be mixed and matched without worrying about them clashing
Probably because her and her daughter are matching.

ahh love molly too! Joy and molly are my favorite TH-camrs 💖
@@JoyRoss Can you try on some different bikini fashion for us?
This video should really be shown In schools, to let them know how to assist the blind. Very good thing to know!❤
Disney Dreamers I so agree! I think that would be so amazing!
In Canada they learn how to assist most disabilities in school
As the other commenter said, I live in Canada and was taught how to help someone whose blind around in high school. :)

You did great.

My supervisor would just take over the customer service desk position for that time, or close down a cashier lane and get them to help out.

I'm a cab driver and I get blind customers. I was searching for some kind of "how to". Thank you for this, it's helpful.

I hope it does not happen again! xx
My gosh Joy is so beautiful.
I hope very much that I can utilize what we've learned in this video. You are wonderful Joy and Im glad I randomly found your corner of youtube.
The only thing I feel sad about that she is blind is she can't tell how amazing she and her child looks!
that's a little creepy coming from a stranger
She has the most amazing and beautiful two daughters 💜😄
Eres un ejemplo de amor y de valentía. Te admiro.
Thank you so much! I live in a city and I had to help two blind people for different occasions. Sometimes they look like they need help, like the last one I helped didnt seem to be somewhere he goes often so he was going into the wall and things like that. I offered my help but I am always scared to offer it the wrong way!!! He was so glad I did though. So many people walked by him and didnt do anything to help, it is sad too! ❤️❤️❤️
Joy, you are both cute and beautiful...but I must stress that this is on the inside as well! Really enjoy your videos! They are a little sunshine in my day. Your daughters (and your puppies) are so sweet as well. I should know, I have three beautiful daughters in their twenties, and a happy Saint Bernard.
Great vid :-). What I would like to add is that a blind friend of mine who uses a cane and has no dog prefers to put her hand on the shoulder of the anonymous person assisting her rather than taking the elbow. So, that's an alternative if either one of the people are maybe not comfortable with physical contact.
When my friend and I are in a crowded bar we basically just play cho-cho train so she will walk behind me with both of her hands on my shoulders while I plow the way through the people for us. Also, a bar we like has the world's worst spiral stairs down to the restrooms and we haven't died yet, so that may seem like a solid strategy for some situations.
Just adding my two cents :-).
WhatAStrangeDuck honestly you are such a good friend for assisting them!!! In addition to that, I wish I had a friend to choo choo train around the bar (and I’m a person with sight) keep being you!
This is such a wholesome video and I’m sending you happiness!
Such a helpful video, thank you Joy!
Very informative video. Thanks Joy and Isabella!
Holy shit she is beautiful
You both are so sweet :)
Such a beautiful person
U are an amazing person and have a great attitude and personality a true inspiration. I’m so happy that ur doing so well in life despite your limitations. Wish you the best for you and your family.
When giving directions how useful is specifying potential audio cues or flooring transitions?
I like that the blind dog's gets treats when they've done a good job
This is so helpful!!! Thank you so much for posting this. I love the relationship you and your daughters have.
Thank you for the great content on your channel. It is very interesting to hear all of this coming from someone who knows about it first hand.
You are beautiful. My mother was legally blind for two years, but fully blind now. It's hard when I bring her to go grocery shopping. Thanks for these vids! always wish u the best ✨😊
I wish we had harnesses like yours in UK, those leather handles look so much more comfortable.
Jessica Watson I’m sure you can order a harness from a US site. Might be expensive with shipping but it’s a possibility 😊
Thank you! This was really informative, really enjoy your videos as it shows a different view of the world and only simple considerations that are helpful.
That dog is like a soldier! XD He's standing completely still as they talk and just waiting for orders.
Rเи鈴木 she passed away actually :-(
@@ezraleite7260 wHAT?!
Rเи鈴木 yes, antonia passed away last year on december 20 from a kidney disease. she was almost 12 years old... she was a wonderful dog. the blind woman, joy, has another dog named arabella that guides her now.
@@ezraleite7260 omggg noooo, that's awful. Her old vids appeared in my recommendations and I started watching her and loving the dogg even more. She was so smart
You both are so beautiful!
i wish she could see how beautiful she is!!! :)
suicidegal she knows
She knows :D she hasn't always been blind
I want to be skinny like you
Gail Land No you don’t, you’re beautiful. Don’t wish to be anything other than you
you raised a wonderful daughter joy
Thank you, both my girls are amazing in every way.
I've have a guidedog myself, a Belgian shepherd, I really like your video's. I've her 8 weeks now.
I think you're both so beautiful! And thanks for the tips! Your videos are very informative! Sending good vibes your way ✌️
I have no idea how this video popped up? I am happy that it did. Now I am informed on how to properly speak/help a blind person. I would never think to offer my elbow? Also I think it’s so crazy that a lot of blind people are so freaking beautiful?!? Also I love her personality! She is just too cute! So is her daughter! 😍
Great explanations for us seeing people;-) Thanks! 🙏
Aww we miss Antonia! LOVE the Vids!
Very Good video Joy ! It goes to reinforce some of the positive comments I've made on a couple of your other videos about the need for Clear Communication with a Visually Impaired person, this will let the V.I.Person know that we are there to help keep Them Safe in an outdoor or indoor environment. When Guiding someone, we are taught to be about half a step infront of them at all times, let them take our left arm ( If they have their Guide Dog with them ), and guide the person by using small movements of our left arm as we walk, such as moving our left arm behind our body when accessing narrow spaces such as doorways. This action causes the Guided person to walk in file behind us and get safely through the environment. Another more sensitive point when conversing with a Blind or V.I. person, talk with them as if they are sighted, we don't really have to adapt our methods of conversing, talk to them using day to day phrases such as " See you later " or " I was watching t.v. last night . . . . . " Don't be scared to use ordinary language, it relaxes the two of us ! Great video, keep up the good work Joy, Isabella and Antonia ! Mike.
Her daughter is so pretty, I'm so jealous
You are an amazing person! Such an inspiration!
Antonio's tail.. hehehe awww thanks for the great vid!
Randomly popped up on my feed. This is good to know! Great video :)
You and your daughter are so beautiful and your home is amazing. I really enjoy watching your videos because, you give off such a positive vibe. Thanks for being so informative and I’m sending you and your family much blessings for 2019.
This lady is the new dear devil super hero.
this video helped me quite a bit. There is a girl on my hall in college who is blind and I always am at a loss for how I should approach her if she needs help or not. My RA does a great job escorting her to the dining halls and what not, but sometimes she has students help her out too. One time she had asked me for directions and I really didn't know how to give her accurate descriptions of where to go, and after I gave her directions I completely out of habit said "see you later" and I felt awful... I did not mean to say something that would be offensive but as seeing individual I rarely take into account the way that sight impacts my life, and I unfortunately was slightly rude and inconsiderate to someone who does not have sight, even though that was not my intention. I really just want to be able to be a good peer to my friend and also respectfully interact with people who are blind or hard of sight. Thank you so much!
Joy is so tall and beautiful!!!😍🥰
She's so attractive!
HAHAHAHA that’s sooo me! I go out the door thinking I’m all set for going out and I’m like “I’m missing something.... OH my cane! Haha” lol
Got a question for joy how do you cook and clean and drive?
This video helps me due to the fact i work different security jobs i do event security which i do even up noticing blind member of public and know i now how to handle the moments when needing them to move.
Thank you for making this helpful video!🌸
You are so very welcome, :-)
