Close your eyes and get ready to see the world in a new and more positive way. As a child in Toronto, Molly Burke was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and became completely sightless as a teenager. Now an award-winning YouTube star and global influencer, Molly shares what it’s like to be a purple-haired, pink-obsessed fashion and makeup lover in a seeing world. She speaks with authenticity and candor about how she tackles the preconceived notions we have around blindness; Molly has made it her mission to make us see her - and ourselves- in a wholly empowering way. Learn about her struggles with bullying and anxiety, her quest for inclusivity, how she built a successful influencer business (with more than 1.8 million followers), and what it’s really like to travel with the true star of this audio, her service dog, Gallop.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library on your web browser, along with the audio.

I totally recommend this book! It is such a great book! I feel that more people need to spread the word on breaking stereotypes and learn how to respect people that are different. The world is full of diversity and people need to realize that and respect it. It’s reality. Not only am I a huge fan of Molly but I love her story!
I too, was bullied and I think people need to learn to be kind, and not put a target on someone’s back. I feel all bullies out there (you know who you are) need to seek help and not take it out on ‘easy targets’. The way Molly talks about her journey in life so far, is so mature and refreshing. It’s refreshing because, a majority of people look at things negativity and more people need to think of the glass half full!
I purchased the book the day it came out!
I love it so much!❤️

I'm so glad Molly read her book, first of all. I've been a follower for a while now and learned more than I knew previously through this book. It sort of fits many of her different videos into the story of her life in a way that the videos don't because they are just that, videos added at all different times on specific topics. The advice given and lessons learned are something I could go back and listen to again for inspiration because they're that powerful. To me it always seems that Molly's success and confidence came easily because of her attitude and personality, but it's obviously not that simple and I appreciate her sharing her struggles. Love hearing about her support systems and the importance of those. Molly is an amazing person and even though I'm older than her, she's a role model for sure.

Loved it so much!

I was born with low vision, and am also slowly going blind. I'm in my 20s now and have lost most of my useful vision. I used to desperately look for representation of myself and could never find it. This book is one I wish I had as a teenager and one I desperately needed now. It was cathartic, made me feel seen, and I felt like sometimes we had the same blind girl moments in life. I am so grateful for this book. Thank you Molly Burke and Audible!

Molly is truly amazing and her book amazed me even more. She shows people that it's ok to not always be ok and that you really can get through anything while constantly making you laugh. I would highly recommend this book.

Absolutely love Molly - Must Listen

I watch Molly's youtube religiously ever since the Shane Dawsom collab. I feel I know her personality and this narration was even better than her videos. years of public speaking have honed her story telling skills. this is a very inspirational book, shows anyone can accomplish great things, no matter the hand they were dealt. I love that Molly opens our eyes to the different and less positive experiences of blind and disabled people that we otherwise would never know. society needs to improve and people like Molly are going to be the drivers for great change in the world.

beautiful story of overcoming vision loss

My grandmother is blind, but she wasn't born blind. Throughout her life and mine I've seen her bump into things, etc. I never really understood what she endured on a daily basis. She found love, my grandfather, he was her eyes until he passed in 2017. She never learned how to read or write so when he passed, we my family grew eager to learn how to help her. This book isn't only for the blind, but for the healing, the forgotten and those wanting to give back, in my case I understand a lot more about my grandmother's battles and triumphs with her disability- I completley understand her love for fashion now as well. Also, I can't stop hugging my dog. I absolutley Love this book!! Thank you for sharing your story.

This book is awesome!
