Both Cassandra and Andrew are blind and Cassandra is one of the first Seeing Eye Dog users in Singapore, and they recently visited Vision Australia to gain knowledge and expertise from the Seeing Eye Dogs branch of Vision Australia to bring back to K9. Then later in the program this week Bethany Cody catches up with Brittnee Watson. Both Bethany and Brittnee have tattoos and through their shared lived experience with low vision, they seek to bust the misconceptions and discrimination faced by people from the blind and low vision community who are interested in getting tattoos.Support this Vision Australia Radio program: https://www.visionaustralia.org/donate?src=radio&type=0&_ga=2.182040610.46191917.1644183916-1718358749.1627963141See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
