The Motherly Podcast

When Kiana Glanton lost her vision to an autoimmune disease, she was also becoming a mother. In this episode, she talks to Liz about what it is really like to raise a child while navigating blindness — from the practical (adaptive technology, community support) to the profound (the inseparable bond with her daughter, who she lovingly calls her "seeing eye daughter"). She also shares more about her inspiring work for the Lighthouse Guild and how she’s breaking stereotypes leading Team USA’s blind baseball team. Hosted on Acast.
