Jewelry isn't only about what visually glitters and sparkles: both jewelry and braille are tactile experiences. Our latest guest tells us about her more than a decade in the accessible jewelry and accessories world, after studying music and theatre and working in assistive technology roles, leading to the role of accessibility advocate alongside. Laura Legendary is the founder of Elegant Insights Braille Creations and tells us about what true accessibility means to her, along with her road from grief and the special braille keepsake someone gifted to her when she was going through loss, and now we speak with Laura to highlight the connections in losing a loved one and losing a sense, both things we can learn to adapt to with time, support, and the right tools. Along with descriptions of some of the products she creates and a few upcoming seasonal promotions, Laura tells us about how she sparkles and assists others in how they can find that sparkle for themselves. Legendary is a people person, businessperson, and our guest on Outlook this week.

For visually impaired listeners, the episode cover art is a photo of a set of three items, a bracelet, necklace, and earrings that match. They are all brass with shades of purple gemstones and crystals. The necklace says "I love you" in braille, the bracelet says "always," and the earrings are deliberately mismatched, so that one earring says "always," and the other one says "forever." This set is called "The Love Always and Forever Set". --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/message
