Amy Amantea: Taking meaningful & purposeful steps forward

Send us a text

Steve has a conversation with the delightful Amy Amantea, an actor/performer, writer, arts administrator, disability strategist and advocate. She is also legally blind, as well as neurodivergent, and she experiences chronic pain from Gastropareses - nerve damage in the stomach. Her Type 1 diabetes rendered her into a coma and when she emerged from that experience, she was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy, which caused her to become legally blind. None the less, she navigates through her life with positivity, passion and purpose. Amy gets a lot of joy from creating her own work, her current project is entitled: Through my Lens, where she takes her own pictures by finding the 'light' - without actually seeing the images of her own photos. She creates personal stories through her performance art. You can find Amy here: Accessing Art With Amy - Podcast - Apple Podcasts, https://throughmylens.ca and Vancouver Co-op Radio – CFRO 100.5 FM
