Either I do nothing out of fear or something out of faith.
Despite facing the significant challenge of losing her sight in her early 50s due to an autoimmune condition, Sara Freeman Smith’s journey is a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of a strong community.
At 70, Sara is happily using all the cool, innovative tech available for folks who have lost their vision, and one of her favorite tools is the AI-driven Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, which she uses to create engaging social media content hands-free.
You must visit Sara’s Instagram account @SarahFreemanSmith
to see her in action – she’s able to share her precious inspirational gems and wisdom via video and photos using these innovative AI glasses!
Along with fascinating and inspirational stories (including a blind Master Chef from Houston!), Sara also discusses her book, 'Turning Stones into Gems,' which encourages individuals to find value and purpose despite life's challenges.
Be sure to visit Sara’s website urgems.com, and a huge shoutout to StreamYard for being an easily accessible platform for folks who are blind – Sara loved it.
Tune in to learn about Sara’s strategies for thriving in later life, the power of community, and how she continues to live a vibrant and fulfilling life despite her obstacles.
