🎙️ NEW EPISODE: 🧁 Vegan Treats & More Real Talk on Blind Table Talk!🎙️
This week, we’re diving deep into real-world accessibility and the myths of blind dating. Here’s what’s on the table:
🎯 Target Under Fire: We discuss a recent incident where a blind patron was told he needed 24-hour notice for a shopper but could not be shown this “store policy”. We’re talking accountability and why we can’t stay silent on discriminatory service.
💼 Workplace Integrity: Addressing the fallout of unfounded accusations and the importance of professional, responsible reporting over "exit-door" drama.
💘 The "Perks" of Dating a Blind Person? We’re debunking myths! Do blind partners have "super-hearing"? Is physical attraction off the table? We get playful but serious about why “blind dating” isn’t as "different" as people may think.
🧁 Special Guest: We sit down with Carina Comer, owner of Carina’s Bakery, to talk about her BVI Entrepreneur journey and her delicious vegan treats!
🗣️ Join the Conversation: Have you ever faced a "24-hour notice" rule just to go shopping? Or what’s the wildest blind dating stereotype you’ve heard? Let us know in the comments! Bring it to the table, let’s talk about it!
