The Blind Visionary

 

Virginia Jacko was a successful executive at Purdue University when she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa. She would slowly, but surely, go completely blind. As the darkness grew around her, Virginia found the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired. - and a new mission in life. Virginia turned a potentially-devastating condition into an opportunity, going from student to president and CEO of the Lighthouse in just four years. Virginia's odyssey shows you how to create greater personal and professional satisfaction in your own life.
 

José Feliciano in the Foreword to The Blind Visionary:
 

“They say that truth can be stranger than fiction; and here in this case it would be difficult to make up a story that so vividly demonstrates triumph in attitude, courage, creativity and tenacity over adversity. . . .Virginia’s story is about mustering the courage to take action – to embrace change in the face of a devastating blow . . .”
