Kerry Kijewski has been a #BeReal guest before a few times.

I started this series years ago to highlight real people doing real people things.  In a world that shares AI in a way that exaggerates reality everyday it might be more important than ever to keep it real.

Kerry just had an article published in the Toronto Star where she reminds us how many ways we are given to experience the world around us.  I encourage you to click on the link and read her words.

She wrote the following about the article on her Facebook page. If you can’t read the linked article reach out and I’ll send you the text.

“What a week it’s been eh? I’m taking the good with the bad right now, like so many likely are. I will keep on speaking out as long as I have the platform to do so.

It happened so fast. The editor helped shape and sharpen it, with her feedback, and I still pushed for including the things I thought were most important to get across through advocating.

I had my first travel essay published in The Toronto Star newspaper over the weekend, something I hadn’t imagined I’d be doing when I headed back here to Ireland.

I write about my first visit to this country, how I took everything in then, and how my return last year was made all new by the fact that my remaining sight was fading hard. I want people to know that travel is just as meaningful and memorable when experienced with other senses than sight.”

Thank you Kerry for sharing your experience with us.
