    Kevin and Sarah LaRose: The Conversation

    Sunday Edition Presents: A Conversation with Kevin and Sarah LaRoseBy: Anthony Corona Air Date: February 15 In this heartfelt and deeply layered conversation, we sit down with Kevin and Sarah LaRose to talk about life, love, blindness and vision loss, faith held onto, faith practiced, faith questioned and faith reclaimed. For years we have corresponded, supported and amplified one another’s work across advocacy spaces and community conversations. It was long past time that we sat down together not only as colleagues in the work, but as friends and partners in shared purpose. Sarah and Kevin have been married since 2012. They first met in 1998 while participating in advocacy activities online and through the American Council of the Blind. What began as shared advocacy grew into shared life. Kevin is a lover of history and politics, an enthusiastic home cook, an avid podcast listener and the kind of reader who juggles three books at once. A gifted wordsmith, he describes himself as an introvert, yet he is also a generous encourager who offers thoughtful compliments with sincerity and care. Sarah taught biblical languages at Anderson University from 2015 to 2024 and received the Jacob Bolotin Award from the National Federation of the Blind in 2016. She now works as a braille transcriber for JBI Library. In her memoir, Past the Gray Curtain, she offers a deeply personal reflection on faith, identity and lived experience. You can learn more about Sarah and her work at http://www.sarahblakelarose.com and explore Kevin’s work at http://www.kevinlarose.net. While there are many memoirs available today, this is a beautifully written, thoughtfully presented and deeply thought provoking work. Supporting one another is not only about hitting a like button or sharing a post. It is also about showing up through action. Please consider purchasing Sarah’s book today and investing in the powerful storytelling and lived experience she so generously shares. During our conversation, we explore navigating blindness and vision loss within faith communities, translating belief into lived practice in a modern world and the quiet courage it takes to wrestle with doubt while holding onto hope. Gabriel Lopez Kafati joins us for part of the conversation as we begin teasing an upcoming six week series of Thursday night discussions leading up to and through the Lenten season and Easter. Together we talk about what it means to translate faith into action and compassion in today’s world. This episode is thoughtful, honest and grounded in lived experience. It is a conversation about partnership, calling and the ongoing journey of becoming.

    The EchoVision Glasses Experience: Presented By Sunday Edition

    Sunday Edition PresentsThe EchoVision Glasses Experience This weeks Sunday Edition featured an in depth and community centered conversation exploring the EchoVision smart glasses and the growing ecosystem surrounding them. Our guest Amy from the AGIGA team guided us through multiple live demonstrations of the EchoVision glasses, offering a clear and practical look at how they function in real world use. Amy shared the story behind the development of the glasses, the philosophy that shaped their design, and what is coming next for both the product and the broader EchoVision community. We explored the history of EchoVision, how blind and low vision users were involved from the very beginning, and why the Pioneer experience is such a critical part of refining and strengthening the technology. Amy also walked listeners through how to learn more, where to find demos and resources, and how interested users can take next steps. A highlight of the episode was hearing directly from current EchoVision Pioneers. Several users joined the conversation to share their lived experiences, practical use cases, and honest reflections on how the glasses fit into daily life. These firsthand perspectives brought depth and authenticity to the discussion and reinforced the importance of designing assistive technology with the community rather than for it. We were also pleased to introduce Lisa Brooks, who is helping to manage and grow the social media presence surrounding EchoVision. Lisa shared insight into how the community connects online and how users can stay engaged, informed, and supported as the platform continues to evolve. This episode reflects what Sunday Edition does best, bringing together developers, users, advocates, and community voices for thoughtful and accessible conversations about technology, independence, and lived experience.

    Sunday Edition Presents: Blind Travel Foundation and Creative Guidance

    Blind Travel Foundation and Creative Guidance with Sunday Edition This week on Sunday Edition, we bring together two returning voices whose work reminds us that exploration is not just about where we go, but how deeply we listen, adapt, and grow. In our first conversation, we sit down once again with Mike Walsh, founder and executive director of the Blind Travel Foundation. Mike joins us to talk about blind led travel, adventure with purpose, and the power of reclaiming curiosity in a world that often underestimates what blind and low vision travelers can do. From meaningful travel grants to community storytelling, Mike shares how the Blind Travel Foundation continues to expand what access and possibility look like in motion. Mike also walks us through the application process for this year’s ten thousand dollar  travel grant and reminds listeners that the deadline is quickly approaching. In our second segment, we welcome back Coach Kaila Allen of Creative Guidance LLC. Kaila is a naturally curious soul whose twenty year journey through the healing arts is shaped by her lived experience with Leber Congenital Amaurosis. Diagnosed at age three, Kaila learned early that when one way of seeing closes, another opens. Her work centers on inner sight, deep listening, and guiding individuals through life transitions by integrating mindfulness, somatic resilience, wellness, and energy healing. Kaila believes transformation is not about becoming someone new, but uncovering the authentic and magnificent version of yourself that already exists. Kaila begins our conversation with a beautiful grounding exercise before we move into a discussion about intentional living and her chosen word of the year for 2026. Both of these conversations highlight something powerful. These are two members of our community who started with an idea, nurtured a dream, and put in the work to turn vision into action. Through the Blind Travel Foundation and Creative Guidance, Mike and Kaila have built something real, sustainable, and deeply rooted in giving back to the blind and low vision community. Together, these conversations explore travel, creativity, adaptation, and what it truly means to move from stuckness into purpose. Both Mike Walsh and Kaila Allen are familiar voices to the Sunday Edition family, and we are thrilled to bring them back for a conversation rooted in insight, experience, and forward motion.

    Intimate Evening with Rhonda Selby Presented by Sunday Edition

    > Friend of the Sunday Edition family of podcasts and a personal musical hero, Rhonda Selby joins us for an intimate and heartfelt conversation about music, vision, and life itself. > > Born and raised in the small town of Door, Michigan, Rhonda was diagnosed with retinoblastoma at just four months old and is totally blind. From an early age, sound and music became her language, her compass, and her constant companion. She began singing as a teenager, studying voice and keyboard, and later performing with bands across multiple genres, from pop and country to selections from the Great American Songbook. > > In this intimate evening, we journey through Rhonda’s journeys. We explore her creative process, her return to music after a long hiatus, and her recent work teaching herself to mix and produce. Along the way, we talk about the twists and turns life offers us, how vision is experienced far beyond sight, and how music carries us through surprise, loss, and renewal. > > Rhonda also speaks to the wide and sometimes surprising range of artists who have shaped her musical ear. From the precision and emotional discipline of classical voices like Beverly Sills and Kathleen Battle, to the storytelling and swing of jazz greats Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, to the soul rich expression of R and B icons Minnie Riperton and Deniece Williams, her influences reflect a deep respect for vocal honesty and emotional truth. These artists did more than inspire technique; they modeled how a voice can carry vulnerability, power, and grace all at once. In our conversation, Rhonda reflects on how these influences continue to guide her as a singer, producer, and listener, reminding us that music is not confined by genre, but expanded by lived experience. > > This is not just a conversation about songs, but about listening, becoming, and finding your voice again. > > Listen live or tune in on 2020 The Beacon.You can stream from anywhere on the website.You can also ask Alexa devices to enable 2020 The Beacon.Available on GetMeRadio and Live365. > > You can also listen on Corona FM.Visit www.anthonycorona.com and click on the tab for Corona FM. > > For questions, comments, or to request the login information to join us live, send an email to:SundayEdition@anthonycorona.com > > 🎤🎤🎤#SundayEdition#IntimateEvening#BlindMusicians#MusicAndLife#AccessibilityInTheArts#2020TheBeacon#CoronaFM > > Anthony CoronaHe/HimHost and Producer of Sunday edition sundayeditionac@gmail.com pisode Notes Notes go here Support Sunday Edition with Anthony Corona by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/acb-sunday-edition This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
