DYNAMISM OF NFB
Dynamism is defined as something that has
energy and a strong desire to make something happenâ;
now, who does that sound like? YOU!
As a member of the National Federation of the
Blind, you want to make a difference! Have you
encountered a situation where you, as a blind
person, were misunderstood or criticized for your
ideas because someone thought you couldnât do
something? What actions did you take to change
that situation? Are you creative in how you
maintain your independence? Do you have a funny
story of how you accomplished something? Are you a parent of a Blind child?Â
Share your unique story through writing, videos and pictures!
The Communications Committee, in collaboration
with the Writer's Division, the Public Relations
Committee, and the Social Media Committee is
seeking stories along with videos and pictures,
which reflect the NFB philosophy. These stories
may be selected and highlighted in the Braille
Monitor, on Facebook/Twitter or in a Kernel
book. Stories are being compiled into a book to celebrate
NFB's 75th Anniversary!
Have you used the white cane for other tasks
instead of mobility? For example, do you play
pool with it? Talk about the unique ways you
clean the house, cook, wash the car, garden, and
play games or sports. Do you like to
bowl? Share a video of getting that strike! Do
you like to work with your hands; such as,
construction, mechanics or knitting? Do you like
to fish, hunt or play golf? Share how you
accomplish your activities at home, in the community or on the job.
The Inquiring minds of the world want to know what the blind can do!
For samples of the stories that we are looking
for, read the April issue of the Braille Monitor.
