Beth Deer previews questions people who are blind get asked

This week's AMI This Week segment is one I’ve been working on for quite some time.

I wanted to write a script about all the questions I get asked as a person who is blind, and how it makes me feel.

What I wanted people to take away from it was the answers and the understanding that it's OK to ask. To begin with, this was something I was planning to work on alone but when Lance, my Bureau Producer, had the idea of adding in some other reporters, I thought that would be a great way to mix things up.

"Questions Blind People Get Asked" is meant to be a light-hearted segment with some seriousness behind it. I love it when people are genuinely interested in my vision but sometimes some of the answers to the questions I get asked seem pretty self-explanatory.

If you’re interested in what I mean by that, tune into AMI This Week!
