“Even within the disabled community, blindness is a very small group of people.
Photographed by Donnel Barroso
Most people never meet a blind person in their entire life.
I set out to just be a relatable, authentic, genuine person.
When Istarted seven years ago, there were just a handful ofdisabled content creators.
Now, I see thousands.
I would smell each one and guess the color.
I guessed all four correctly.
The scents they chose exactly correlated with the colors.
When I’m trying to pick which one I want to use, I literally just smell them.
(Only 10 percent of the blind community actually read Braille.)
[English language learners] who can’t read whats on the packaging can benefit.
People who have language processing disorders like dyslexia can benefit.
People who are autistic and communicate through symbols can benefit.
Its such a beautiful piece of the culture and the history of the blind community.
People remember that.”
