UBL Webinar Recap, Incorporation News & Call for Leadership Stories

Dear supporters,

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent United Blind Leaders webinar, “How Leadership Changes the Way We Advocate”. It was a powerful conversation about the impact of stepping into leadership roles—on ourselves, our advocacy, and our communities.

If you missed it (or want to revisit the discussion), you can now read the recap on our website. The post includes a link to the full webinar recording:

We’re also excited to share another major milestone: United Blind Leaders is moving to formally incorporate. This will strengthen our ability to grow the movement, deepen our impact, and ensure that blind people continue to lead the work.

Finally, a reminder: as we prepare to speak at the World Blindness Summit in Brazil this September, we’re keen to showcase real stories of impactful blind leadership. If you have a story to share, (your own or someone else’s), you can submit it in writing, or as an audio or video message.

Send your stories to: unitedblindleaders@gmail.com. We look forward to the opportunity to showcase blind leadership in action.

Thank you, as always, for backing blind leadership. Together, we are shaping a future where we lead, not just participate.

With appreciation,

The United Blind Leaders team
