Unseen

How I Lost My Vision but Found My Voice

By: Molly Burke

Narrated by: Molly Burke

From social media star and change-maker Molly Burke, a vulnerable, honest, and darkly humorous memoir on navigating the challenges of being a blind woman in a sighted world

When Molly Burke was four years old, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease that leads to eventual blindness, forcing her to see the world through new eyes—literally. Growing up disabled didn’t stop her from playing sports, becoming a rock-climbing instructor, or winning a beauty pageant, but other people’s narrow perceptions of her held her back.

Years of relentless bullying, toxic work environments, a rodent-infested apartment, and life’s lowest moments were juxtaposed with red carpets, first-class flights, and personal and professional achievements. Throughout her life, Molly has learned to appreciate the duality, and, most importantly, she’s learned the beauty of being unapologetically yourself and standing up for what you truly believe in.

In Unseen, Molly chronicles her journey as a disabled woman, entrepreneur, and entertainer, illuminating what her experiences have taught her and what she hopes others can learn from her hardship and successes. Part memoir, part rallying cry for a more compassionate and empathetic world, Unseen recounts Molly’s life and experiences fighting against the expectations society set for her and, in doing so, helps listeners find their own voice, inner strength, and self-acceptance.

Perspective

Molly has educated the world so much on disability and has completely changed the way I view disability. The social model of disability needs to be our new normal! Everyone needs to hear her speak. 10/10 as with everything she does!

UNSEEN by MOLLY BURKE

I enjoyed everything about this memoir. Please please make another novel on Audible. There’s was no dislike here.

A great "insight" to an amazing woman

I so enjoyed Molly's story and getting to hear it in her own voice. Being a long time viewer of her on YouTube, not all of the stories were unknown to me, but as she told them my heart ached for the teenage Molly, worried for the early 20's young woman and was so pleased for the 30 year old's triumphs. I can only imagine how vulnerable she must have felt opening up her life and feelings to us all, and I applaud her well earned self-confidence.
