11 Small Businesses Owned by Blind People That You NEED to Know About! (and shop from!)

[@MatthewandPaulOfficial]

Thank you so much for the BIG shoutouts Molly!! You are the absolute best and we love you. We NEED to get together and make more videos in 2025. This is officially our NY resolution!! 💫 MORE MOLLY 💫 (we are manifesting it)

[@LimitLessLindy]

My daughter recently lost total vision due to T1D complications. She is a florist! Owns her own business and is still creating beautiful bouquets totally blind! She is such an inspiration to me. As you are! We thank you for sharing Xx

[@LiliaandNova]

How beautiful! What is her business, if you’d like to share? ❤

[@chrissyfoley7361]

I’ve had Type I Diabetes for 57 years and was recently diagnosed with non prolific retinopathy. I’m hoping I never lose my sight from it. I’ve known my whole life that it’s always a possibility. I’m so glad she’s still able to do what she loves.

[@patricesteiner1168]

What a beautiful thing that she’s found a way to keep on making floral arrangements. Sounds like she has an indomitable spirit!

[@sarahhatfield6911]

Do you mind sharing how long she had T1D before she lost her sight? I have had T1D for 25 years... I am afraid I will lose my sight but have no expectations or estimations as to when...

[@chrissyfoley7361]

@@sarahhatfield6911 I’m not the OP but retinopathy is caused by high blood sugars over the years. As you know T1D is hard to manage so your BGs are never perfect. My ophthalmologist said he usually sees it after 10 years of T1D. With that in mind, you’re at 25 years and you still don’t have it, so that’s good! I have 57 years and I’m just being diagnosed with retinopathy. There’s really no way to know when or if it will happen. Over the years I’ve chosen to live without fear and keeping in the background. I’m aware of course. The best thing to do is do your best to manage this uncontrollable disease. I hate the word control. There are also different stages of retinopathy. I’m at the first stage. I will continue with my yearly diabetic eye exams with my ophthalmologist. If it progresses I think you do laser surgery for it. I’m a bit nervous about it all. Sorry for the lengthy answer. I hope it helps. I wish you the best. ❤️

We're truly honored to be included in this list of amazing small business blind entrepreneurs.

[@Odyssey_0000]

With you guys's amazing design I wouldn't have expected any less, looking at the latest new design's and updates that have come out for our community, yours is one of the few that truly seem to embody and breath change and pure quality!(there are some questionable ones out there)

[@azuradawn5683]

Two Blind Brothers is AMAZING! My mom got a couple of the "shop blind" mystery boxes for my partner and I several years ago and we're all completely obsessed with their clothes. I'm wearing a pair of their socks right now and my partner wears their hoodies all the time. It's all super high quality and supports such a great cause! Thrilled to see you highlighting them, Molly - and you aren't exaggerating how soft the plush puppies are!! I'm excited to check out some of the companies I wasn't familiar with!

[@lovelifeandcrafts5003]

I love this. Helping small businesses who are VI and blind. I am registered blind with less than 1% in left and 10% in right eye. I have my own online shop. (UK facebook based but can ship to US). It's more of a hobby but hope to run an actual shop. I do stuff for people who are sighted and for the VI or Blind. I do tactile cards with braile greetings, keyrings, bracelets etc. It takes a long time and dedication but i want to make cards that everyone can read/see along with other gifts for all throughout the different occasions. Bring smiles to everyone. Xx

[@UnknownPerson-so]

❤ What's your shop called?

[@koellekind]

Oh that's such a nice idea! Good luck with your shop❤😊

[@lovelifeandcrafts5003]

@koellekind thankyou. Taking a while to.pick back up as was on hiatus for a year while moving. Slowly getting stuff rolling again. Xx

[@TheFrugalAudiophile]

I have been legally blind since birth and employment has always been a struggle. I have a bachelors degree and a masters in counseling and was still not able to find a good job. A few years ago, I felt the call into pastoral ministry and went through the ordination process in my church. I am now on staff as associate pastor. It is only part time but coupled with my Social Security. It has been a huge blessing in my life! I have always felt that there is more we can do as a society to help disable people with employment. The ADA and equal opportunities acts only go so far.

[@cheryl-lynnmehring8606]

That is so sad as you sound very capable and intelligent. You have so much to offer.❤

[@jenniferdevinney541]

I love this! I have chronic pain/illness /disability and own a counseling practice. I only hire people who are in the chronic/disability community and we work with clients with the same community as well. It's so nice to have a place where everyone struggles in the same unique way, a great place of healing. I find that being a counselor is one of those jobs that if youre struggling with a certain thing (like EDS for me and blindness for you) clients who are also living with that LOVE working with counselors who struggling with the same diagnosis.

[@TheFrugalAudiophile]

@@cheryl-lynnmehring8606 Yes, it seems like it comes down to not being able to drive.

[@TheFrugalAudiophile]

@@jenniferdevinney541 That's really cool! Where is your practice if you don't mind saying.

[@ChimeraTruely]

I have my Mr Maple stuffy with my Gallop Bandana. I use them to remind me to hold onto hope, stop letting my fears overwhelm me, and to keep looking for joy

[@marissahirt]

Okay, I'm obsessed with every single one of these items. As a visually impaired (future blind) girlie I NEED these lol. Couldn't find the giveaway rules but hoping this counts!

Autisim and adhd girly here. I just started my youtube channel up again. I love you so much. I am just feeling it out with shorts right now. Thank you for the idea! Mostly it is clips of my dog.

[@lesleyplowman1395]

Saving this for my RP blund bestie! I cant wait to get her some of these clothes!!!!

[@kelseypetersen7737]

Love seeing all the inclusiveness of all blind owned companies we need more of this in the world❤ Love it

[@Mmistyharber]

Thank you for sharing these! Can't wait to shop!

[@becky-e1n]

We ordered the black lab (Beacon) from two blind brothers and my daughter "adopted" it and sleeps with it every single night. It's adorable especially because I was a puppy raiser for Guiding Eyes for the Blind with a yellow lab named Felicia.

[@katc4786]

This is so nice! I’ll def buy some of these as gifts once I get paid

[@Ashl3y.]

This is amazing! My mom is blind and I have such an appreciation for these businesses! ❤

[@Odyssey_0000]

Oh my god, NO!, now I need and want a colored cane tip, like a pink one for my pink and rosegold glitter cane. I just can’t bear to do oversea packages with the taxes the Netherlands and the country shipped from likes to add to it. Luckily Lachi is bases in the UK as they are across from us the shipping is fine.

[@MollyBurkeOfficial]

Christmas wishlist??? Future birthday gift?? I put my hot pink one on my new pink glitter cane and honestly... it's iconic barbie vibes

[@dothedo3667]

​@@MollyBurkeOfficial Maybe it was just the lighting but that one definitely looked more magenta rather than hot pink

[@kirstygraham3781]

I live in England and my grandmas cousins live in Canada and one of them sends Christmas presents to my mum and vice versa and they tend to send home made things from her local community and one year she sent some jewellery for me that was made by a blind girl in her community 😅 I wear it loads and it’s so pretty 😊

[@tamberjune]

Love this video!!!🎉❤

[@michelleheegaard]

SO cool with the braile embroidery on clothing! And the sweater you have on is so sleek and looks cool and versatile. It doesnt scream BRAILLE while still being a silent nod in that direction. I could totally see myself wearing something like that.

[@irhonda31]

I had no idea there were so many blind-owned businesses! This is fantastic! Thank you for keeping us informed!

[@sleepypup]

THE HAIR CUTTTT 😍😍😍😍

[@deborahleatherman7001]

[@laurynpawl6839]

This is so awsome to find these companies who are blind or visual impaired people. ❤ this. I will be looking these up. Thank You Molly.

[@ameliamangham4460]

Its great to highlight these! I am a childrens book illustrator with RP

[@creativeguitar35]

How do I get to the site with Robyn's handbags? I dont see them on her site that's linked in the video description, it seems like that site only has her prints?

[@MollyBurkeOfficial]

I don't believe they are on sale YET - it's a new product she's launching so stay tuned and follow her on social media!

Service dog handlers looking for a gear shop to support- Misty Dog Gear is owner and operated by a blind guide dog handler! She makes top quality biothane harness, collars, and handles! She puts in so much work and her work is the best biothane gear out there!!

Omggg I need to get one of those glitter canes ❤❤❤

[@charlesrmarsh232]

So agree about please use Braille Grade 1. My Education on Braille ended at Grade 1 :( and trying to read most Braille out and about in the real world means I only know bits and pieces of what is written and most stuff is indecipherable!

The sunglasses looked great.

[@ElizabethDohertyThomas]

So cool and it makes me wish there were people with my diseases rocking products! :)

[@rheagalarneau1366]

Those sunglasses look like something Holly Golightly would wear.

[@Odyssey_0000]

I'm wheezing laughing on the ground at the "if you want a cane tip without having a cane, I can't stop you" true, but those tips seem so dang useless without a cane, the hook on on it's own is so specific, I don’t even think you could hook it onto something else that's not a white cane with a elastic string inside of it (:

[@MollyBurkeOfficial]

Right? hahaha I mean, I agree.. but I'm sure there's someone creative out there...

[@Odyssey_0000]

@@MollyBurkeOfficial The furthest my mind comes is a keychain, tho it will fall off, the amount of times I have tried to hook a spare tip on the elastic just to store it away, hahahah

[@shelleyk92]

Love all of this. ❤

[@alexisleona]

For the record, we puppy raisers will gladly accept a puppy plushie pre-slobbered by Mr. Elton John.

Looks like you owe Elton his own plush dog. Since he seemed to be in love with the one’s your gonna raffle out.

[@marikotrue3488]

I checked out the Aille site. Loved the clothing. I am trying to only buy recycled clothing, but I intend purchase an accessory on that site that resonated with me. I am legally blind in only one eye, but still can have trouble with things like stairs which forces me to grip bannisters with a fist of iron and hit the back of my heel against each step. BTW as of this comment that jean jacket is sold out so hopefully Molly should keep that one. Unfortunately so is an ADORABLE Barbie-inspired (black and white striped) dress. PLEASE< MOLLY GET THEM TO RE-STOCK THAT DRESS!
