Look Me In The Eye: What a Month

September was “ look me in the eye month” and what a great month it turned out to be.

Look me in the eye is a simple public awareness campaign that’s aim is to get each one of us to acknowledge those with disabilities in our community.

Amelia Abel joined me several times to talk on the radio and on local television about why this is so important to people with disabilities.

Today we visited KEZI’s morning show and KKNX radio and she did a great job.

Between interviews Amelia and I went to our favorite coffee shop, Full City, and had a great time.

KKNX can track how many online listeners it had while we were talking and guess what? There were 15,000 people listening and the numbers for an online service that provides a link for people with vision disabilities was bursting with listeners. These aren’t just local listeners these are people from all over the world.

The campaign isn’t over when September ends. You will be hearing much more about us in the coming months. In the meantime, don’t forget to “Look People In The Eye.
