Join Aftersight for an eye-opening discussion. We will explore the biggest misconceptions surrounding blindness. Learn how white canes can empower the visually impaired community. In this video, we follow Evan Starnes. He is an almost totally blind audio production technician. Evan is breaking down barriers and advocating for the use of white canes.

Evan shares his personal experience with blindness. White canes have allowed him to be independent. They enable him to pursue his passions, like hiking and music production. He also discusses the societal misconceptions. Some people believe that blind people are unable to work or do anything at all. These misconceptions contribute to the high unemployment rate of the visually impaired community.

Aftersight is an incredible non-profit organization that provides free white canes to those who need them. Evan highlights the importance of having access to a cane and how it can make a significant difference in someone’s life.

We see various shots of visually impaired individuals throughout the video. They confidently use their white canes while hiking. They also ski and even ride the bus. We also learn about Evan’s work at Aftersight, including producing his own podcast and creating fun PSAs.
