In this special episode of The Curious Lens, my mom shares my personal story of surviving a deadly case of meningitis as a one-year-old baby, and how it resulted in my becoming DeafBlind. I will take you on a journey through my Hero's Journey, starting when I was only one year old and spent a month in the hospital, half of that time in the ICU. You will discover how my experience as a survivor led to a long road to recovery and rehabilitation, ultimately resulting in my discovery of photography.
