In this episode of The Eko Lens Podcast, Kenisha Coon sits down with Cory, the creator of Legally Blind No Limits, for a real, encouraging conversation about what it looks like to navigate vision loss while still building a life rooted in purpose. Cory shares pieces of his personal journey, including the early challenges that came with low vision and the mindset shifts that helped him redefine what’s possible—not in a “feel-good” way, but in the day-to-day, practical way that most people don’t get to see unless someone tells the truth about it.
A big part of this conversation focuses on how assistive technology can expand independence—and how important it is to find what actually works for your life. Kenisha and Cory talk through tools many folks rely on, like screen readers, navigation apps, and adaptive devices, along with the learning curve that comes with them. The takeaway is clear: tech can be a bridge, but it’s most powerful when it’s paired with confidence, community, and the freedom to experiment without shame.
What really makes this episode stand out is the theme of storytelling as advocacy. Cory explains how Legally Blind No Limits amplifies voices in the blind and low-vision community, pushes representation forward, and helps reshape how society understands disability—not as a limitation, but as a lived experience that deserves accessibility, respect, and visibility. Kenisha and Cory also dig into the role of mutual support: how community changes everything when you’re learning, adapting, and refusing to shrink yourself to fit a world that wasn’t designed with you in mind.
If you’re part of the blind/low-vision community, a caregiver, an ally, or someone working in accessibility or tech, this episode is a must-listen—equal parts grounding and motivating. And if you’ve ever needed a reminder that you can build a full life while adapting (not “after” adapting), Cory’s message lands in a powerful way.
