In this episode, Shaimond welcomes Dr. Anica Zeyen, a UK-based researcher who has CBS and cone-rod dystrophy. Dr. Zeyen shares her experiences with vision loss and the onset and development of her CBS symptoms. She offers insights into coping mechanisms and discusses how trust, relationships, and communication play a crucial role in managing the condition. The conversation also delves into Dr. Zeyen's extensive research on disability inclusion, her work in making public spaces more accessible, and her advocacy for disability rights across various countries. Despite dealing with nearly continuous hallucinations, Dr. Zeyen has made significant strides in academia and activism. She also discusses the challenges and benefits of using a white cane and a guide dog, her personal experiences living with a disability in different countries, and the importance of understanding individual needs in creating a more inclusive world.
