Welcome to my Network.

Bringing awareness and support to disabled people.
When I first became physically disabled, I spent countless hours trying to find information, resources, products, services and people with experience and expertise in finding possible inside impossible situations. My Network is open to disabled people, disability advocates, new products, resources, services, podcasts and blogs for disabled people and their families. The goal of my Network is to bring awareness and support to disabled people inside and outside the Network. As well as to help people who are not physically disabled understand the kind of issues that physically disabled have to deal with every day that make their lives more difficult than they need to be or should be.

This platform helps dive into how our guests have experienced disability; what has it taught them about themselves, about life, about others; what tools or experiences have helped them to better navigate and adapt to the world; what do they wish other people knew about them; what are they working on now; how would they like to improve the world.

Grace & Able
Colorful compression gloves for arthritis warriors. Joint support products are ugly and uncomfortable. You wear them because you have to, not because you want to. That's a challenge for people with chronic pain. Including me. I'm Sarah, and I have rheumatoid arthritis. I wear compression gloves and orthopedic braces every day because of joint damage in my wrists.

Think And Zoom
Zuby Onwuta, a legally blind US Army veteran and ex-IBM engineer, has been officially recognized by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), as the inventor of “Think and Zoom: Brain-Control for Blind Assistive Tech”.
The visually impaired, which includes people with low vision, and those who are legally or totally blind, are often restricted by their hand controlled assistive tech and thereby lose out on hours of productivity.
It’s exciting to see a legally blind person invent a way for people like him to have the “holy grail” of hands-free use of blind assistive technology in order to improve user experience and increase productivity.
We’re looking forward to seeing how Think and Zoom will transform the world for the visually impaired!
