At the Blind Muse Foundation, our goal is simple but powerful:
to communicate, educate, and connect the blind and low vision community with the sighted world through accessible, informative documentaries.
We believe that storytelling is the bridge to understanding — and that visibility and truth can change perceptions. Check out our community page for stories.
We are producing a new documentary investigating the Randolph-Sheppard Program — a long-standing federal initiative that empowers blind entrepreneurs to operate cafeterias and vending facilities on government property.
Recently, this program has been misrepresented in national media. During a podcast appearance, Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll made inaccurate claims about the program, framing it as an example of government “waste.”
These statements ignore the real impact and integrity of blind and low vision professionals who work tirelessly through the Randolph-Sheppard Program and other initiatives to serve their communities.
We’re inviting blind and low vision entrepreneurs, advocates, program participants, and experts to share their experiences and insights.
Interviews will be conducted via Zoom or in person, depending on location, over the next 10 days.
We want to hear:
By lending your story, you’ll help bring accuracy, dignity, and representation to a national conversation that deeply needs it.
