Lina and Juna want to be your blind big sisters. Fifteen years ago, they met at a @PerkinsVision summer program - kicking off an epic friendship and countless “blind adventures.” Now, in their new podcast, @BlindGirlChat, they’re inviting everyone to join them for discussions about “all things blind and girl, no vision required.” Get to know them in our latest #MyBlindStory post (link in bio). #BlindNewWorld

Text reads, “#MyBlindStory | Girl Talk: meet the hosts of the Blind Girl Chat podcast by Lina Coral and Juna Gjata.” The BlindNewWorld logo is at the bottom of the graphic.

Video description: On a sunny day in a skate park, visually impaired skateboarder Coco balances on his board, which is standing up on its side, while also holding his white cane. He jumps straight up, spinning the skateboard under his feet, then lands right back on the board. The camera pans to show his friends cheering and celebrating him perfectly executing the trick.

Video description: At a gallery, artist Daniel Arsham guides his friend @HobyWedler`s hands across a work in his “Venice 3024” exhibit - a bust of a Star Wars Storm Trooper created from a variety of materials, including crystals and plaster. As Hoby feels different parts of the sculpture, he interprets and discusses with Daniel the meaning behind the choices of material, placement, etc.
