I’m blind, and I’m proud. Disability Pride Month is a time to celebrate our strength, spark conversations, and raise awareness. Disability isn’t a limitation—it’s a part of who we are. Visibility matters. Let’s keep talking. #DisabilityPride

Happy Independence Day to all my American friends, followers, and anyone else celebrating today 🇺🇸🎆 Hope you’re surrounded by good food, people you love, and a deep sense of gratitude for freedom. Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy. ❤️💙🤍

Off to Moorfields for new eye mouldings today. My lovely @guidedogs staying home—it’s far too hot for his paws—so it’s just me, my cane, and a bit of hope. Resilience isn’t loud; sometimes it’s just showing up. 💛 #Blind #DisabilityPride #Hope #Resilience

I can’t believe I’m saying this… I just signed a contract to publish SIX of my children’s books!! I’ve got a whole team behind me—project manager, editors, illustrators, the works! Bumbleberry is coming to life… DREAMS DO COME TRUE! #ChildrensBooks #AuthorLife #BookDeal

I don’t watch #EastEnders but I’m glad they’re showing a storyline about childhood sight loss. It’s real life. It matters. And it’s great they asked @RNIB for advice—representation should be done with care and truth. These stories impact real families. #BlindRepresentation

This is what happens when I ignore my Guide dog. youtube.com/shorts/60ZPDjC…

Accessibility isn’t a feature. It’s a foundation. It’s not just for disabled people — it’s for everyone. Build without barriers. Because when you design for inclusion, you don’t just open doors. You redefine what’s possible. #GAAD #BuiltWithoutBarriers

Mummy, I'm trying to snooze.

They say you need eyes to read. I say you need a heart willing to listen. Blindness never closed the door to stories for me — it opened a thousand more. Words find us where sight never could.#reading

I just checked my YouTube Studio & I’m only 3 subscribers away from 2200! It’s just little old me filming solo, no editing (no working eyeballs, remember?). Thank you all SO much for the support – it means the world. Subscribe here: youtube.com/blindgirlvlogs

Hoppy Easter! Crackin’ Open a Creme Egg — How Do YOU Gobble yours? 😋

Some days I’m trainers—steady, soft, sure. Others, stilettos—off-balance, effortful. Sometimes it’s wellies—heavy, trudging. And now & then, knee-high boots—bold, unstoppable. Blindness isn’t one story. I’m all of it. Still walking. Always in my own way. #Blindness

Communication isn’t confrontation—it’s collaboration. It’s not a battlefield, it’s a bridge. It’s two hearts choosing to meet in the middle, not clash. Real talk isn’t war—it’s the work of understanding, of healing, of building something better. Together. #Communicate

Just asked my bin collector kindly to place bins closer to property lines—makes a huge difference for me as a blind person & for people using mobility aids, prams, etc. One small act of thoughtfulness goes a long way. #AccessibilityMatters #InclusiveDesign #GuideDog

Don't you just love sunny days. ☀️

Happy Mother’s Day to all mums—those with us and those watching from above. To single mums, pet mums, and every form love takes—today is for you. Wishing you all a beautiful day. My thoughts and hugs go out to each and every one of you. #MothersDay.

Did you know? Blind or vision impaired iPhone users can now just say: “Hey Siri, quickly describe with @BeMyEyes” — and it’ll snap a pic and describe what it sees, no need to open the app or tap anything. Quick, simple, brilliant!

There’s a Japanese legend that says crying is how your eyes speak when your heart is too broken for words. And honestly, that’s so true. Sometimes, pain runs so deep that words fail—but your tears tell the story your soul can’t. Let them fall, let them speak, let yourself heal.
