The third episode of the American Foundation for the Blind’s (AFB) Inform & Connect series focuses on the journey of the creator of digital lifestyle magazine Bold Blind Beauty, Stephanae “Steph” McCoy.
This week’s special guests are Bold Blind Beauty Founder Steph McCoy and Nasreen Bhutta, the magazine’s Chief Communications Officer. Audiences will learn of the mission of Bold Blind Beauty, the “2020 A Year Of Vision” campaign, and the voice of “Abby,” the magazine’s fashion icon extraordinaire.
After promising career at one of the Big Four accounting firms, Steph felt like something was still missing. As kindness, compassion, and a deep desire for social justice are central to who she is as a person, Steph founded Bold Blind Beauty out of a yearning for personal empowerment that she wanted to share with others. This epiphany sparked her passion for becoming a full-time abilities crusader-advocate.
“The one thing sight loss has taught me is perception is much more profound than seeing,” Steph said. “I may have lost my sight, but my clarity has increased exponentially, and for this I am grateful.”
“Meeting Steph was exactly what I needed in my own struggles of dealing with sight loss,” said Melody Goodspeed, AFB Major Gifts Specialist. “Steph has taken Bold Blind Beauty to places of power and inclusion through focusing on the whole person, inside and out.”
