Diagnosed with a rare eye condition as a teenager, Karen made it her mission to see the world—literally—before her sight faded. Through travel, family, and the unexpected companionship of a guide dog, Karen’s story is one of resilience, courage, and finding joy in the unexpected.
Bonus: This was the first time we’ve had a dog on stage at Barefaced Stories - go Nico!
Recorded live at Barefaced Stories in 2022, the theme of the night was #Blessed.
