Dr. Carol Scholz Bio
I have been an educator for more than 35 years. My experience encompasses a wide variety of jobs over the years. I earned my BS and MEd at the University of Pittsburgh and started my career as an assistant houseparent at the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children. So my heart, family, and education are rooted in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania! I subsequently became a Teacher of the Visually Impaired working in PA, MA, CA, ID, TN, and now Florida, and also an Elementary Teacher in CA and ID followed by Alternate Assessment Coordinator Digital Learning Coordinator at the Idaho State Department of Education. I now work virtually as a TVI in two states ID and FL and have my own LLC En-vision Consulting!

I have a PhD in Educational Leadership and Technology which I did not receive until I was 60! Lifetime learning and a life of service, working to make the world a better place is the key to happiness and the true joy of living. I love to learn about new technologies and work with students with visual impairments! I pray I have a positive impact on everyone, students, families, and professionals God brings into my life! I deeply appreciate the opportunity to be featured by Stephanae McCoy on Bold Blind Beauty and Teens in Flight and join her in promoting understanding and acceptance of people with differing abilities! The world is enriched by people of varying visual abilities! My favorite quote is, "Be the change you want to see in the world" Ghandi My message to all who read this be that change!

Episode title and number: Looking Beyond Eyesight Featuring Dr. Hoby Wedler & Jackie Summers | Season 2 - #10

Brief summary of the show:
Welcome to Season 2 Episode 10 of Bold Blind Beauty On A.I.R. This month's episode centers on a beautiful partnership of two individuals who come together to create a unified front to combat systemic barriers. Topics revolve around barrier-breaking, sensory literacy, privilege, diversity, blindness, aromatic symphony, and more.

Dr. Hoby Wedler's Bio:
Dr. Hoby Wedler is an insightful, disarming, and passionate thinker who loves to bring people together to help them see new possibilities. With the heart of a teacher, Hoby helps turn dreams into realities. Hoby has been completely blind since birth. He is a chemist, an entrepreneur, a sensory expert, and is driven by his passion for innovative, creative, and insightful thinking. Hoby is remarkably tuned into his surroundings and has frequently chosen to walk the unbeaten paths in life over known territories. In 2016, Hoby earned his Ph.D. in organic chemistry from UC Davis. His fearlessness is infectious, and he has actively paved the way for others to join him in his quest to follow passions regardless of the challenges that lie ahead.

Jackie Summers' Bio:
An acclaimed author, public speaker, and entrepreneur, Jackie Summers is the founder of JackFromBrooklyn Inc. and the creator of the award-winning Sorel Liqueur. After being diagnosed with a spinal tumor and given a small chance to live, Jackie Summers not only beat those odds, but left his decades-long corporate career to create Sorel as a way to honor his Barbadian heritage. Following 623 failed attempts, Summers perfected the first and only shelf-stable sorrel liqueur. Most recently, Summers was nominated for the James Beard Media Award for Personal Essay, Long Form, and was honored among Wine Enthusiast’s Future 40 and Food & Wine magazine’s Drinks Innovators of the Year. Summers’ mission is to tell stories of marginalized peoples in their own voices.

Episode title and number: FSuccess In Plain Sight Featuring Dan Berlin & Jack Chen Season 2 - #7

Brief summary of the show:
Welcome to Season 2 Episode 7 of Bold Blind Beauty On A.I.R. Today we're talking with former Iron Men, Dan Berlin and Jack Chen about their soon-to-be-released documentary on their experience during the Race Across America*. Known as the World's Toughest Bicycle Race, Race Across America is a grueling coast-to-coast 3,000-mile cycling event.

Dan and Jack's tandem team consisted of physically fit sighted pilots and blind stokers. This interesting conversation draws parallels from the boardroom to interdependence and the capabilities of blind people. If you've ever doubted what blind people can do, this episode will challenge you to see those on the blindness spectrum in a new light.*

Welcome to Season 2 Episode 5 of Bold Blind Beauty On A.I.R. For this month's podcast episode we have a real treat for you. We've taken the BBB On A.I.R. podcast to the street to gather input about inclusion.

Recently, Nasreen, Sylvia, and I attended the American Foundation for the Blind Leadership Conference in Arlington, VA. Since all three of us were in the same location we took our Bold Blind Beauty On A.I.R. podcast to the street to interview a few conference attendees.

Episode title and number: Featuring Sassy Outwater of Acsexyble Runway #8

Brief summary of the show:
"And so I started the Acsexyble Runway and said, let's have a place for people with disabilities to come together and talk about their fashion challenges and help each other. It's all about putting your experience out there asking questions, giving answers, and supporting each other to figure this whole thing out. It's very much built on the Disability Justice framework of supporting each other because the abled world isn't making space for that." ~Sassy Outwater Bullet points of key topics & timestamps:0:43 | Physical Appearance & Beauty

  • BOLD Our co-hosts talk about their most recent eye examinations and why it's so important to maintain eye health.
  • BLIND Jonathan Marin, Program Director, Career Discovery Project. In his role, Jonathan ensures that high school/college youth who are blind or low vision gain access to quality internships.

Episode title and number: Featuring Peggy Chong & Victoria Watts #3

Brief summary of the show:

Historically, blind people have not been adequately represented in archived data, or when they were mentioned many weren't reflected in a positive light—their lives matter, yesterday, today, and tomorrow*. In today's show, Forgotten Women In History, we will talk about our personal reflections on how we want to be remembered as blind women. Then we'll hear the story of one blind woman's fight to survive and to keep her children in a society that deemed her unworthy.

Bold Blind Beauty On A.I.R. Show Notes

Date: 2/26/21

Episode title and number: Featuring Chef Alicia Connor & Michael Nye #2

Brief summary of the show:

"I do think this project is about, really in some ways, not about blindness at all, but it’s about our shared humanity and our shared fragility. And it’s about incredible mystery of perception, and about adaptation. And I think discrimination grows from the sighted community not understanding or not willing to understand that anyone can adapt to new situations. They just see immediately what happens if they imagine themselves blind, but they don’t realize you adapt by learning." ~Michael Nye The Month of February, known for love, is also recognized as Heart Health Month and Low Vision & RP Awareness Month.

  • BOLD Heart Healthy Eating expert Alicia Connor, a registered dietitian nutritionist, chef, and creator of Quick & Delish will give us some cool tips for healthy eating.
  • BLIND Low vision what is it? How many people are affected by it? Can it be cured? Sylvia will answer these and more questions about this condition.
  • BEAUTY Michael Nye, author of My Heart Is Not Blind will share a clip from one of the participants of this awesome project. Then he will tell us how the project came about.
