Join Anthony as he welcomes Coney Simms and Kenneth Semien to discuss ACB Awards, the DKM First Timers and JP Morgan Chase Fellows and we will hear from some past winners. They will answer our questions and provide guidelines and submission dates.
Sunday Edition has been a staunch supporter of AIRA and the professional Visual Interpretation Model since inception. When the confusion began, we decided to go straight to the guy in charge to discuss the changes and reasons for them. In a missive to our community from Troy, Anthony was impressed with his apology for the confusion and his apparent drive to find the equitable solution for all. Anthony will sit down for an in-depth interview to discuss the debacle that was the roll out announcements of the changes; what it all means; and get to know Troy a little bit as well. Then Jenine Stanley will join, and the conversation will open for the audience to ask questions and take a moment to share how AIRA improves our lives. This will not be a bashing session, but feel free to share constructive criticism and or ideas.

A meesage from Troy Otillio... "We're Listening"
This week on Sunday Edition, we celebrate MLK Weekend and honor the transfiguring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr with our special guest host and friend of the show, Mark Richert, who will share a recording of one of Dr. King’s most stirring messages entitled, “But If Not,” a powerful call and challenge to all of us to discover and commit to a great cause. Captured just less than five months before his assassination, this moving sermon deeply convicts the listener today who, reflecting on the cutting short of Dr. King’s relatively young life, here’s his unflinching exhortation that, “If you haven’t found something so dear that you aren’t willing to die for it then you aren’t fit to live.” Then, after inviting the audience to share their reactions, Mark will moderate a panel discussion with ACB leaders to discuss perspectives on the life and legacy of Dr. King as they have influenced ACB’s own history and commitment to civil and human rights and the challenges that lay before ACB and our community generally, with panelists being asked to answer a fundamental question, “What cause or conviction do you have that you believe is worthy of sacrifice and wholehearted commitment?” It is a particular treat to welcome Mark to the host’s microphone in that Mark successfully bid on this hosting opportunity in this past December’s ACB Holiday Auction.
Mark will be inviting some great friends including Cheryl Cumings the Chair of MCAC committee and he looks forward to the open round-table conversation with Sunday Edition Audience members in the second hour.
Join Anthony and crew as we recap the holiday season; discuss what we would like to achieve personally in 2023; and talk about what we would like to see from ACB and our leadership teams. Bring your memories, resolutions, and dreams, and join the conversation.
This week Anthony Welcomes Nefertiti Matos Olivares and Chad Chennil the creative vision and voice behind Meggy Eggie of the wildly popular ATK Mystery Recipe podcast. We talk representation, diversity and what it took to bring a bi-lingual Low Vision character to life. The show blends entertainment with learning and not just how to execute a recipe. Teaching her friends about being blind or low vision and showing her talents in the kitchen Meggy has quickly become a fan favorite. Nefertiti and her amazing voice and laugh bring such heart to Meggy and I am so happy they brought a few clips for us to enjoy as well.
Then in the second hour Anthony welcomes Marty Sobo and Michael Babcock of Unmute Presents. This popular Tech call and emerging business has become a goto staple for our community and we get to know them behind the proverbial MIC’s. Their individual stories and journey of friendship makes them dynamic partners who enrich ACB and the Blind Low Vision community beyond.
Since I will be beginning my holiday celebrations early this year I did not want to leave Sunday Edition Audiences without any new shows before the new year so we pre-recorded this episode for you.
Many Thanks to Nefertiti, Chad, Marty and Michael. Thanks to Tim Cumings for editing and Byron Lee for producing.
New shows will return January 8th.

We are smack dab in the middle of the Holiday Season and after a few rough years it seems as the Holidays are as back to normal as can be. But are we? Are our loved ones and friends?

We will explore emotions during the holidays, how we cope and share some of our Holiday Traditions. We will share resources for persons who may have a hard time during the season and we will open the conversation to you; what are the holidays like for you and what are some of the highlights or what you may struggle with.
Then sometime in our second hour Anthony will highlight the You Are Not Alone letter writing campaign inspired by the novel: Darling You Are Not Alone by JD Slajchert.
This campaign aims to put pen to paper and reach out to those in our lives who matter; to those who just may need to hear they are not alone. What a great message for the holidays.
