Kim Owens is a writer, parent-mentor, speaker, and Braille transcriber. Her son, Kai, unexpectedly lost his sight at the age of ten. She immersed herself in the blindness community and advocated for his equal and accessible education. She believes that parental acceptance, community building, and equal accessible education are the three main pillars that led to her son’s success. She completed the Prevent Blindness ASPECT Patient Engagement Program.
