And this is just the beginning.

This week on Sunday Edition, we welcomed back Barbara Hinske, the acclaimed author of the Guiding Emily series, The Rosemont series, and many other beloved novels. Barbara joined us to share some exciting news about the upcoming Book 6 and Book 7 in the Guiding Emily series, offering insights into her writing process and how she balances engaging storytelling with meaningful advocacy for the blind and low vision community.  In the second half of the show, we focused on Barbara’s commitment to reducing unemployment in the blind and low vision community. Together, we strategized ways to make an impact, heard personal experiences from community members, and helped shape this year’s planned outreach and advocacy efforts.  Barbara will be back in mid-April when we unveil Hinske’s Crew—a dedicated group of advocates who will work to educate and engage human resource professionals, companies, and small businesses, as well as identify opportunities to present panel discussions at conferences and conventions.  Help Bring a Second Guiding Emily Movie to Hallmark!  We also touched on the growing community call for a second Guiding Emily Hallmark movie.

You’re Invited: Sunday Edition Celebrates Love in All Its Forms!  February is often painted in shades of romance, but love is so much more than roses and heart-shaped chocolates. This Sunday, Sunday Edition is embracing all love—the love we have for ourselves, the bonds we build in friendships and family (biological or chosen), and the connections that lift us up and remind us that we are valued, seen, and worthy.  Join Anthony Corona, along with Pam Shaw and members of the ACB Mental Health Awareness Committee, as we dive into what healthy love truly feels like, how we nurture self-love, and why vulnerability is one of love’s greatest strengths.  And in the spirit of connection, we’re introducing the Sunday Edition Hug Challenge! Studies show that a 30-second hug releases endorphins and can change the chemistry of our brains and bodies. But are we brave enough to ask for a hug when we need one? Are we bold enough to offer one to someone who might not even realize they do?  Let’s celebrate love in all its forms and embrace the power of human connection. Whether you’re single, partnered, exploring, or simply honoring your own heart, this conversation is for you.  Tune in this Sunday for an episode filled with warmth, reflection, and, of course, lots of love.    You can listen to Sunday Edition by asking your devices to play: ACB media and choose stream one.  You can find Sunday Edition with Anthony wherever you listen to your podcast.  To join the conversation live please send an email to: [email protected].

We dive into the world of one of ACB’s fiercest, brightest, and most dynamic Next Generation leaders!  MOe Carpenter is a force to be reckoned with. Since 2020, she’s been lighting up the blind community with her passion, drive, and relentless advocacy. We’ll also hear from the movers and shakers of CALM (Chapter at Large Members of the Florida Council of the Blind). They’ve been making waves with impressive fundraising, reinventing what membership looks like, and more. Sunday Edition has been amplifying your voices for five years, and we want to hear from you!

In response to the overwhelming number of requests following Tammy Robbins’ heartfelt and courageous share on ACB Family’s monthly call, we are honored to welcome her to Sunday Edition for a deeper conversation. Tammy’s story of navigating homelessness with her guide dog and 12-year-old son has resonated with many, and we are excited to explore her journey further, including her involvement with various ACB affiliates.  This week, Anthony will also reflect on his own experiences with homelessness and propose ideas for how ACB can leverage its incredible community to provide support during times of crisis. From hosting supportive calls to envisioning an “ACB Family Tree” that could mobilize resources, donations, and assistance in moments of trauma and disaster, we’ll discuss how we can be there for one another when it matters most.  While a project of this scope would require Board approval, Sunday Edition has been at the forefront of inspiring impactful initiatives, including the Mental Health and Wellness Committee and the Community Support Committee. With wildfires devastating Los Angeles and a growing call to action within our membership, this is the perfect time to explore how ACB can expand its role as a family of support and action.  More About Tammy Robbins: Tammy will share an in-depth look at her personal experiences, her challenges, and how she overcame adversity. She will also provide insight into her current roles within various ACB affiliates and how her work continues to make a difference.  We hope you’ll join us for this important conversation!  When & Where:  • Live Broadcast: Sunday at 1 PM ET on ACB Media Stream 1 (ask your device to play ACB Media, Stream 1).  • Podcast: Available on your favorite podcast platforms—just search for ACB’s  Sunday Edition with Anthony.  •Send Us Your Questions or Comments: Email us at [email protected].

For five incredible years, Sunday Edition has been ACB’s open space—a welcoming and vibrant platform where your thoughts matter. It’s the place where members come together, share ideas, and engage in conversations that shape the future of our community. This Sunday, we’re keeping that tradition alive as we honor Ray Campbell and invite your thoughts on the next steps for ACB.  Ray has announced that the 2025 ACB Conference and Convention in Dallas will mark the conclusion of his 19 years of service on the ACB Board. As Second Vice President, Ray has exemplified dedication and vision, and now he’s passing the torch to the next generation of leaders. His decision sparks a crucial moment for reflection and conversation—conversations where your thoughts will help pave the way forward.  Join us for an engaging roundtable where we’ll explore these pivotal questions:    •    Passing the Torch: How can we ensure a seamless transition to new leadership?    •    Leadership Structure: Should we reimagine how ACB operates?    •    Presidential Responsibilities: Is it time to compensate the ACB President?    •    Board Roles: Should directors take on specific duties within the organization? •    Vision for the Future: Is our current system effective, and what do we need from tomorrow’s leaders?  We’ll also ask whether our mentoring programs are preparing strong leaders and discuss whether it’s time for other long-serving leaders to consider stepping aside to make room for fresh perspectives. This is your space, and we want to hear your thoughts. Join us to celebrate Ray’s legacy, reflect on the lessons of the past, and share your vision for ACB’s future.  📧 Questions or comments?
