Kristin Smedley is an award-winning nonprofit leader, TEDx speaker, and author. She never planned any of that. But then two of her three children were diagnosed with a rare disease that causes blindness, and she had to learn how to use tools to help them. Kristin’s two blind sons are now thriving as gifted high school and college students.

She is the founder of the Curing Retinal Blindness Foundation, the only patient organization in the world for her sons’ blindness, CRB1 LCA/RP. Her book, “Thriving Blind: Stories of Success Without Sight” is available in all formats, including electronic Braille and large print. Kristin speaks internationally on the topic of “Setting Extraordinary Expectations” for your personal journey, and she’s also a co-host of the 4 Chicks Chatting Podcast.

In this podcast, Kristin shares her inspiring personal journey and the simple steps she took that elevated her Twitter presence. That success has helped her advocate for her two blind sons and launched her role as an advocate for the blind and visually impaired community.
