Tuesday, April 2, 2026, in Leander, Texas, at H-E-B Plus! in Leander, was one of those moments that really stayed with me.

Rick San Juan and Chelsea C. Nguyen, serving as his sighted guide, decided to try something new at H-E-B Plus—testing the free Be My Eyes app to see if he could complete his grocery shopping independently.

And honestly… we didn’t know what to expect.

With the help of a live virtual volunteer, Rick was guided through the entire process—finding items, scanning groceries, bagging them, and even navigating self-checkout. Step by step, it all came together.

And it worked.

There was a moment of pause—realizing just how powerful something like this can be. Not just convenience, but confidence. Not just assistance, but independence.

Chelsea captured the experience as it unfolded, witnessing firsthand what’s possible when the right tools and support come together.

This is what accessibility looks like.
This is what independence feels like.

📱 The Be My Eyes app is completely free on iOS and Android.

On Labor Day, Rick San Juan, who is totally blind, and Chelsea Nguyen, his sighted guide, went parasailing with Third Coast Parasail at Crystal Beach.

On the ride, they would take turns with other people to go up the sail. As they were the first group to go, they were attached to the sail of a boat. As they were up in the sky, Chelsea would tell Rick about the surroundings in the air. When their turn was over, Captains Rob and Kloe would bring down the sail.

Once they came down, they spent the rest of the trip enjoying the water splashing from the jet boat.

Special thanks to Third Coast Parasail with Captain Rob and Kloe.

I had a great day giving my University of Houston interns, Luis Gonzalez and Patience Kimaru, a tour of the City of Houston Metropolitan Multi-Service Center.

I love working with them and teaching the skills they will need for their professional careers. I love their youth energy and the fresh insight they bring.

Having interns is beneficial to a company and the interns. They give the business a fresh perspective and new ideas. At the same time, the interns learn valuable skills and insight in a professional setting.

I am also glad to teach them more about accessibility and places that offer it to everyone.

A quiet moment to reflect, recharge, and give thanks.

Here’s to another week of opening minds, building empathy, and creating meaningful connections.

“Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another.” 💙

Let this week begin with a renewed sense of compassion and purpose.

Let’s spark a conversation! 👇

What’s one small thing your workplace could do to build more empathy among coworkers?

Drop your ideas or examples in the comments — your story might inspire another leader to take action.

Exciting news — I’m officially part of the Beyond Our Sight (BOS) team! 💙

I’m so grateful to join an incredible group of changemakers redefining what it means to lead with empathy. Together with Kim from BP and the Chairman of the Lighthouse of Houston for the Blind, we’re creating corporate experiences that open hearts, shift mindsets, and build true understanding.

Standing in the Lighthouse today reminded me how powerful it is when community, purpose, and innovation come together.
