Technology has totally opened the doors for millions of people like me. Apps like Be My Eyes #SeeingAI & more have quietly transformed the lives of blind people and I'm incredibly grateful for the freedoms they have given me. #GAAD #GlobalAccessibilityAwarenessDay
Got quite emotional filming this feature for BBC Morning Live. Who knew that a #RoboticGuideDog would pull at my heart strings! The truth is, it stands for a lot for blind people. Freedom and independence. Watch the full ep at 27 mins here: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

I'm on my favourite London North Eastern Railway train from Edinburgh to York after filming in Scotland and I'm sat in the first class carriage but something fishy's going on... Oh, that'll be the new dish on the menu... Cod! 🐟 🤦🏽♂️
Loved surprising the first #Traveleyes group out in #Andalucia for their final 2 days in #Seville & #Cadiz ! Seeing everyone enjoying themselves really reinforced my passion for connecting blind and sighted people together to share great adventures! 🌍 Traveleyes

Just delivered a keynote speech at the Ofcom conference about the power of #AudioDescription . It's not just about accessibility, it's about inclusivity and enriching experiences for all. Let's keep pushing for more inclusive media! #InclusionMatters #AccessibleMedia
Enjoy listening to the feature on #AudioDescription on BBC Radio 4's #InTouch . This is an area close to my heart. It opens up the world of film, television and theatre to blind people like me. Let's keep the conversation going...
