On Sept. 7, I will be speaking at the Illinois Women in Leadership “Influence” Symposium. I am thrilled to talk to this audience of women, all of whom will gather together to discuss a variety of ways to better influence our community and the greater world. One of the biggest methods of influence is through technology. Technology influences our lives by keeping us informed and connected. We live in a world where some information isn’t universally available if we do not pay attention to the needs of others. But if used and implemented wisely and with thought, we can level the playing field. As an entrepreneur and mother to a child who is losing his vision, I developed Aware to help improve 21
"I hope that one day more places will adopt this remarkable technology so that people with vision loss have the freedom to venture out and explore at their heart’s content. Kudos to Rasha Said and the entire Sensible Innovations team for their hard work. The possibilities for this technology are endless!" Thank you so much to Sandy Murillo and Chicago Lighthouse for this wonderful review of Aware. We love hearing people's amazing Aware experiences!
