Ronza Othman, President
National Federation of the Blind of Maryland

Pronouns: she, her, hers

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland 
knows that blindness is not the characteristic 
that defines you or your future. Every day we 
raise the expectations of blind people, because 
low expectations create obstacles between blind 
people and our dreams. You can live the life you 
want; blindness is not what holds you back
