One of my biggest passions is universal design. I have fallen in love with the idea that there are ways to make everywhere welcoming for everyone. Today I want to talk about what it is, how it works, and ways you can use both accessible and universal design in your life. What are your favorite accessibility design ideas?

![Why Blind People Wear Makeup: Its More Than Just Looks
So youre blind⦠Yes.. And youre wearing Makeup?! WHY???
So many have wondered why someone like myself, who cant use a mirror, who cant see themselves, who has been legally blind for their entire life would want to wear makeup. Its a complicated story of self expression, gender norms, conditioning, social armour, wanting to be perceived as equal and normal and so much more. Who would have guessed that makeup could be so many things. Especially for a blind girl. I want to know what your relationship has been with makeup and fashion. Why do you choose to present in a particular way? Why do you wear makeup or not?

![Im Not Inspiring... Its Time To Come Clean.
Lets be honest about neurodivergence, hustle culture, and disability. The overlap is alarming, and problematic. I share my experience with disability, vision loss, neurodivergence, and how productivity can be harmful. This was a vulnerable one for me to dive into. I challenge you not to aim for extraordinary, but to see how much freer we become when we accept ordinary as okay.

Thumbnail Description: Tamara sits in her wheelchair and it shatters on one side flying off into a black nothing in front of her. Words say Shattering the illusion.
