Description

As the first blind person to hit 1 million followers on social media, Molly Burke pioneered a space for the disability community online, giving voice to a historically underrepresented group and empowering people to accept, overcome, and create change. In her work as a YouTube influencer, Burke has been recognized by Allure magazine for driving and shaping the future of the beauty industry to make it more accessible. In this inspiring Day 3 fireside chat, Burke shares how she battled bullying while losing her vision to retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease. She will also discuss insights for making products more accessible through universal design and other considerations that center the disabled community, extending inclusion to all.
