I know I've been away for a while, life is tough! However, there is a big new video coming up and a small one coming up even sooner! The big video is going to be about difficulties getting people to understand and accommodate disability. Many don't understand the different ways in which even a (relatively) mild disability such as mine can affect our lives and limit our opportunities no matter how capable and talented we are! Doesn't mean we cannot overcome these difficulties, but it takes a lot more effort to do so then it does abled people, and also takes privilege and luck! Society should not be set up in a way that you have to be lucky or rich or a genius or all the above to make it in the world and survive… Let's talk about this, let me know what you think below!
Look what happens when we put some effort into allowing disabled people to communicate!

This channel features videos about life with low vision. I'm Maha, a visually impaired person living in Egypt, and the creator of this channel. I have a PhD in Marine Science and a whole host of other interests and passions despite my impairment. One of my passions is raising awareness of disability and accessibility issues and creating entertaining and educational content about these issues.
Here you will find answers to questions such as:
1 - What is legal blindness?
2 - How does a visually impaired person function or enjoy themselves in the modern world?
3 - What are some of the challenges that visually impaired people face, and what can sighted people do to be more inclusive?
4 - What's it like to be visually impaired?
5 - What are the do's and don'ts of communicating and engaging with visually impaired and blind people?
Also,
6 - Reviews and how-to's of visual aid technologies.
And much more fun stuff!
