Molly you HAVE to share the Miss Teen Canada story. The brief was interesting, but the instant you said “I have to check my non disclosure agreement” you really made it official that you have to tell it. Goodness.

Okay, so hear me out: A Collab between Molly and Jessica Kellgren-Fozard where they talk about their negative experiences in beauty pageants, treatment of disability in them and companionship/relationships between contestants. Because both Miss Teen Canada and Britain's Missing Top Model seem like hot messes, especially the ladder. They could definitely be used as negative examples for disability representation as well.

You can make tactile graphs. They can be embossed or they can be printed on special paper that goes through a special heater that puffs it up. You can graph your own graphs with tactile graph paper and tactile tape, wiki sticks, or sticky dots. There’s an array of ways to make tactile graphs, maps, charts, etc for school.

I’m blind and basically there was this thing called graph paper which was raised and it had squares all over the paper. Then there were these things called wiki sticks which are these long things that you can stick on paper, that would usually go in between the XNY axis to show like the upwards or downward trend. There were also these things called bump on which are these raised dots stickers as well. To show different points.and they would show the axis we could also put the paper inside the Brailer are right the numbers along the XNY axis.

You are so inspirational to the people in the disabled community as well as the blind community. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just came back from your part 1 video about the school for the blind with your CVS partnership. That's so cool that CVS is doing that! I've nearly gone blind three times in my life, and until i found this channel it was my biggest fear the idea that someday, i might not be able to get treatment in time or it might not be enough and i'll go blind. So having this channel to watch has helped me a lot. And seeing all of Molly's promotional deals that help blind people are so great, too! It makes me feel like when/if the day comes, i won't be completely lost at sea, if you will. Like this one. I have an eye issue currently that means my vision is almost always diluted looking, if you will, so its already hard to read small print. I have an app that helps me read it on my phone. But its great knowing there's apps out there that will read out labels to you, too!

I still can’t get over gallops retirement, I just don’t wanna talk about but I literally cried and commenting a way 2 long comment about it... molly your so strong, so amazing, so inspirational, and just such and amazing person. I loved this video by the way, and thanks for inspiring me to get through the hard times. I’m not blind, I’m perfectly sighted but your just an amazing inspiration to everyone sighted or “disabled” or not...

I never thought about key locks. At my school, blind students use the directional combination locks so instead of numbers the middle piece is slid up, down, and sideways in a specific pattern to open.

Everytime you post it makes my day so much better. Thank you for being you! 💕

Happy Holiday's Molly!! You and your Mom are amazing and I love watching videos of the 2 of you together!! Love and Hugs from North Alabama!!

You’re such an amazing inspiration to blind and low vision people all around the world! I have looked up to you for years and love the content you make. I would love to make a video with you some day!

I can't believe how much I've learnt about guide dogs and what life is like for blind people from Molly's channel, I keep telling my family loads of things that I've learnt. And I'm sooo sad about gallop retiring, when molly said it would be an emotional video i thought no i wont be sad i never get sad from videos but yeah, guess who got so sad 😣 but at least Gallop will be living with her mum and dad

Those were great questions! “Regrets are a waste of time.” I love that!

Literally who would thumbs down this video? People are so strange. Thank you for sharing, as always, Molly! You’re so lovely and I’m happy you get to spend the holidays with your family!

Sending love from Lithuania 🇱🇹 love you, hope that ur safe and ok !

I’m picturing a sighted teacher walking in on two students making out and having to be like “Do I just try to sneak away, or should I deal with this”

Literally just stopped this to order the mug!! It’s so cute I can’t wait til It gets here. I love you and gallop so much! I’m sad to see him retire but I’m so happy he will still be apart of your life with your parents! I will forever cherish this mug especially now ❤️

Great stories! BTW I love your hair like this!! I hope you and your family have an incredible Christmas and New Year ❤

Thanks for making this content, Molly, you always make me consider things I NEVER thought about before that Blind people have to face!!

No matter how much Molly will talk it will still not be enough for me .

Molly always asks if we want to hear about certain stories, and honestly my answer is always yes to whatever you wanna share, girl! love all your storytime vids

Hi Molly, absolutely loved hearing about your experiences at the school for the blind. As a blind student who has never been to one it was really interesting to hear about!! I’d love to hear more about it 💜 🐝

Yes! I hope some of my questions are answered! Edit: Oh my God, she actually read my comment! I'm so excited!

I love the shirts she’s wearing! White looks so good on her!

You’re such an empowering influence on us all, thank you!

YES! Love hearing about more visibility for blind sport. I coach sport for kids with visual impairments & always like seeing more people talk about their experience as a blind athlete.

In the series where molly interviews other people I would love to hear her talk to someone that went blind later in life. I would imagine it’s harder to learn Braille and O & M outside of a school setting

Usually, you know you're going to lose sight. Molly always mentions how she learnt brail etc when she still had sight, because they could see there was a possibility that she would lose her sight. Its likely most people do that when they know! It's why parents of hard of hearing children are encouraged to learn sign early on!

I love you and all the videos. You do so much for the blind comunnity

Molly I love what your doing. Your spreading information and stoping ingnorance. Your beautiful and amazing.

Hey Molly it’d be great if you could do a part two of the q and a of school for the blind. I’m wondering what was the course work like for you? Did they teach Braille at the school for the blind especially for older kids who wanted to learn braille? Could you chose what kinds of courses you could take?

Definitely want to hear the story about you fighting the school concerning guide dogs.

YES to the fact that blindness is on a spectrum. Most people assume it is just darkness. When I tell people I’m blind, they’re always surprised. I have extremely low vision, which makes me legally blind. No vision (darkness) in my left eye, 20/200 in my right. I know everyone’s struggles with blindness are different. For me, the people around me expect a lot, because they forget that I’m blind. I can’t do what normal people do easily. It’s very frustrating. Because I don’t “look” blind, it just makes it difficult sometimes for people to understand. I went to blind school also! ❤️ I absolutely loved it. They definitely allowed guide dogs. I can’t believe they wouldn’t allow it at yours - that’s insane!!! We definitely need that story time. Going to blind school was the best time of my life. I wish I had gone for longer. I only went during my senior year of high school after my counselor convinced my mom to send me. Again, they don’t realize the struggles I have, so they just tried to ignore it altogether. I’m thankful that my high school understood the scope of it and worked to get me to the blind school. It was amazing.

Love you Molly. Really enjoyed this video. You’re amazing

Hi Molly! Your last video made me cry so hard, I had to stop the video!😭

I have aphantasia which means that I can’t see in my head or “visualize” and have learned that mental visualization is a spectrum, but I’d love to know if you can see in your head and what your internal “visual” world is like.

I like the fact I knew all your answers before you said them, because all my answers were essentially the same--if people are really that interested and have that many questions about the school, I feel like I should maybe do my own video about it since I’ve got plenty of stories about my time there as well… possible collaboration? Just an idea.

Congratulations on 2 mil Molly!

Hey mollie! I am a VIP “ visually impaired person” I also went to the school for the blind while I was in middle school in Kentucky! At the school I went to it was very similar with your school as far as boarding and staying all week. Funny story about my time there was that we also had deaf students and us VIP’s would talk crap about the deaf kids and they would sign crap about us but none of us could understand each other 😂😂 love your videos BTW it’s nice having fellow blind people tell their stories!

I’d like to hear about beauty pageant. Sounds like a story from some movie

My son who is Deaf went to an oral Deaf school from 14 months old to 6 years old, because in his situation least restrictive environment was to front load his specialized assistance and then to move him to a mainstream situation. All the pieces of the puzzle matter, for Molly losing her vision completely in 8th grade it was smart to receive specialized training later. It all depends on everyone’s specific situation. We can only do the best we can with the information we have.
