Hi, everyone. This is KJ and this is my first swell cast mini podcast thing. And I really have no idea what I'm going to talk about. I'm sure that after a while I can make this channel focus on something in particular. I was going to make the main top pick my blindness. But it's just a layer of who I am. And I loathe when people say, oh, hi, this is KJ. She's blind

Really nice to hear your voice full of sound and music and hope. I think you have plenty of stories in you and I'm so grateful you found swell. It's the place to audiojournal and to kind of be in your voice, literally. So I'm happy I and upon your swell and I just want to welcome you here and thank you for your first post. It was wonderful

Hello. Oh, and a PS you did ask if we have any questions to ask you. Questions? I do have a question. When you talk about sound, when you hear sound, I'm sure it's magnified because it's a very sensitive sense of yours and you use it probably differently than a lot of us. Does sound help you imagine shapes and colors and environments? And can you talk a little bit about sort of the science behind that or the heart behind that as well?

Our hearts are bigger than ourselves, and this is what people don't focus on. People don't focus on the personality. People don't focus on anything else but what they see externally as soon as they meet you. Is this fair?

You. I like what you're saying in many different ways. I think really what it comes down to is and I think this is very important for prejudice and all different types of bias and discrimination is that we really have more in common than we don't. I think you really said that. Well, thanks. Really came across
