So @PradaBeauty, how did I do? -👀 💚 Me vs. @EmmaWatson… Emma wins every time. #PerfumeTok #Perfume #Prada #PradaParadoxe #BlindfoldedChallenge #EmmaWatson

I just wonder what that family thought I was so excited about… LOL Ah yes, just another funny blind girl moment I had to share with you all! #StoryTime #Vienna #Travel #Tourist #Horse #Funny

Navigating public bathrooms alone as a blind woman is honestly one of the hardest and most stressful parts of my day. Every single one is different and it always takes me so much longer to figure it all out than if I could see. This tactile map made a MASSIVE difference and I wish this was standardized everywhere! #Bathroom #Washroom #PeeingInPublic #PublicBathroom

Today’s short captions: Instagram: I didn’t just write this book—I made sure blind and disabled readers could actually access it. I didn’t just write a book—I reimagined how books should be made. Here’s how I designed UNSEEN to be inclusive from start to finish. Preorder now- link in bio! Or reach out to me about bulk orders and speaking inquiries 🙏🏻😊 #fyp #DisabilityAwareness #AccessibleBooks #BlindAuthor #InclusivePublishing #DisabilityInclusion

Let this be your reminder to never take the simple things for granted. Being blind, I really lack that feeling of freedom of movement. Something as simple as being able to walk on my own and swing my arms as I go feels INCREDIBLE, even though it’s something most people wouldn’t think twice about. #GoingForAWalk #HotGirlWalk #WalkTok #BlindGirl

I really wish we had these in North America - it is such a simple yet affective design and the perfect example of universal design. #Australia #Ketchup #UniversalDesign #WeNeedThis

Obviously everyone is different but I’m all for a good blind joke, as long as it’s actually funny and not just the overdone “did you SEE it? Did you really SEE it?” Which... is objectively not funny. And of course, I want to be laughing with you - if you’re laughing AT me then you’re just being a jerk. #BlindJokes #Comedy #Humor #Funny #HowTo

Getting hit by not one but TWO drivers in totally different situations was less than ideal. It’s scary to think about how much worse it could have been and I know at the end of the day, I’m lucky with how both of these worked out. That said, being blind I can only do so much and rely on drivers to be paying attention so PLEASE, look out for pedestrians! #CarAccident #StoryTime

This might be one of the most anxiety inducing things I’ve done yet for my book promo.I went back to ALL THREE of my childhood homes and hand-delivered advance copies of my new memoir to the current homeowners—so they know the stories that unfolded in the rooms they now live in.Full circle moment. 💚#BookTok #Memoir #UNSEENmemoir #ChildhoodHome #Emotional  #AuthorLife #BookTikTok #BookRecommendation #AdvancedReaderCopy

I am so grateful this sweet young girl notices I was struggling in the public bathroom and offered to help me find the soap, regardless of the fact that we were strangers and may not have even spoken the same language, given we were in an international airport. Her parents are raising her well, though I’m surprised none of the many adults around us decided to step in. I often find this is the case - people are around and can see me struggling but don’t offer to help until I ask them to. And while I don’t want people to always assume I need help and step in unexpected to do things for me, if it’s OBVIOUS that I’m struggling and need help, I do appreciate when people offer to help out. #StoryTime #Travel #Airport #Bathroom #Tourist #Germany #Frankfurt

I’ve been getting asked about the bumps on the bottom of @Starbucks cups because people have been wondering if it’s braille and while it isn’t, it is still used as an accessibility feature. These bumps are universally accessible, whether you’re a visually impaired barista or just looking at your co-worker while quickly grabbing a cup for the next drink you’re making! I love it! #UniversalDesign #Starbucks #StarbucksOrder #Braille

Be honest… did I pull these faces off? Were you convinced? LOL And what faces should I try next? #Funny #Comedy #LOL #WinkWink #FacialExpressions

I walked out of my hotel room in this outfit before I realized that it makes me look like the human embodiment of blindness! LOL Is it a blind girl slay or a blind girl nay?? #OOTD #FitCheck #BlindGirl

You can’t make this stuff up.A sushi restaurant host actually suggested I should ‘pretend my dog is a service dog so you don’t get denied’… while standing there WITH MY REAL SERVICE DOG. 🤯This is why education about guide dogs and accessibility is so needed.#ServiceDog #BlindGirl #StoryTime #AccessibilityMatters #DisabilityAwareness #YouCantMakeThisUp #ADA

This memoir is the rawest thing I’ve ever shared. Preorder your copy now—link in bio. Let’s make it a bestseller together. 💚 #Memoir #BookTok #PreorderNow #unseenmemoir

This bike is superior to a traditional tandem, in my opinion. I really enjoyed experiencing the Pino bike in Sydney and would LOVE to own one someday! As a blind person, it was fantastic but I can see it being a benefit to so many others in the disability community, as well as families and couples who love tandem riding! #Cycling #Biking #TandemBike #PinoBike #Sydney #Australia

This conversation was like the greatest hits in ableist micro-aggressions but I know none of his comments came from hate or a negative place, just ignorance and a lack of understanding. I’m not sharing this to shame him, just to demonstrate what NOT to say to a blind person so you don’t make the same awkward mistakes! #Ableism #Awkward #DontSayThat

This jacket isn’t the FINAL version but it’s way more similar to what it will be when the book releases than the ARC’s have. It was exciting finally getting to feel what it will be like, and seeing some of the light reflect off of the gold metallic foil. YAY, we’re getting there! Pre-order UNSEEN now wherever you buy books! And yes, there will be an audiobook to pre-order soon as well that will also release on September 23rd, don’t worry!! #UNSEENMemoir #UNSEEN #NewBook #BookJacketReveal #BookJacket  #Memoir #BookTok #BookTikTok

Shoutout to the ice fans and @LaRochePosay for saving the day! My goodness, the sun did NOT come to play. Anyways, it was really cool attending my first ever F1 Grand Prix, especially seeing how happy it made my boyfriend! And in Austria no less? Beautiful! #Austria #GrandPrix #F1 #RedbullRing #F1GrandPrix #Formula1

This is the real way blind girls get injured… not by taking risks and surfing, but by doing an every day, simple task like taking a bath in an unknown bathtub! LOL Shark attack? Nope! TAP ATTACK! #Funny #Surfing #Travel #Ouch #BondiBeach
