Dave Steele, also known as The Blind Poet, joins us today to paint a vivid recount of not just living with vision loss, but also the battles with homelessness, mental health struggles, and the resilience it takes to navigate life's adversities.
What does it mean to be blind? Does it imply a life of limitations or can it be a world full of potential and opportunities? Dave tackles these misconceptions head-on, sharing how his retinitis pigmentosa diagnosis may limit his sight, but it has ignited his vision. Today, Dave's poetry serves as a lifeline for many who are dealing with similar situations, echoing a message of resilience and hope.
