Hello again! I recently joined Moses on his podcast, Mind Over Habit, for a conversation that went beyond my work in the field of accessibility and into the emotional challenges and mindset behind my journey.
Moses’s show is built around real conversations about habits, healing, resilience, and the stories that shape who we become — and our conversation followed that thread, tracing my path from carnival owner to accessibility consultant, and the mental shifts that carried me through it.

Losing Sight, Finding a New Path
We talked about the personal side of my story — losing my vision and having to rebuild not just a career, but a sense of who I was. That period pushed me to teach myself HTML just to become part of the online world, which eventually became the foundation for everything I do now as an accessibility consultant.
Accessibility as Innovation, Not Obligation
A central theme of the conversation: accessibility isn’t charity, and it isn’t just compliance. It’s innovation, better customer experience, and a real growth strategy — something every business, creator, and entrepreneur benefits from getting right, whether or not they think of themselves as serving people with disabilities.
What Businesses Get Wrong
Moses and I got into some of the biggest accessibility mistakes businesses make, along with a few surprising realities about how screen reader users actually navigate the web — insights that tend to surprise people who’ve never had to think about it.
Designing for Everyone
We closed by talking about how inclusive design doesn’t just help people with disabilities — it improves the experience for everyone, including in ways businesses don’t always expect.
