About this listen

Close your eyes and get ready to see the world in a new and more positive way. As a child in Toronto, Molly Burke was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and became completely sightless as a teenager. Now an award-winning YouTube star and global influencer, Molly shares what it’s like to be a purple-haired, pink-obsessed fashion and makeup lover in a seeing world. She speaks with authenticity and candor about how she tackles the preconceived notions we have around blindness; Molly has made it her mission to make us see her - and ourselves- in a wholly empowering way. Learn about her struggles with bullying and anxiety, her quest for inclusivity, how she built a successful influencer business (with more than 1.8 million followers), and what it’s really like to travel with the true star of this audio, her service dog, Gallop.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library on your web browser, along with the audio.

Molly – thank you so much for sharing your journey with me – with us… I also have retinitis pigmentosa and listening to you, all the shame, despair, and confusion dissipates, and is transformed into joy, wonder, curiosity and of course – gratitude.
Thank you, thank you, thank you – you give me hope!

had so much fun with this !!! as someone who struggles with a visual impairment i often need audiobooks to listen to so this was perfect for that. i’m a big fan of Molly’s and getting to learn more about her and her life being blind was really interesting and enjoyable!!! some of the things she went through i’ve dealt with too and it helped me feel less alone, and the things i haven’t been through were just very insightful to hear about !! i definitely recommend if you are a fan of Molly’s or just want to learn more about the life of someone who is blind!
