Breaking Out of the Blind Grind with Lisamaria Martinez and Serena Olsen

MixedMedia Talks

LisaMaria Martinez (LM) is a blind mom living in the SF bay Area. She rocks a weekly FB Live episode with her bestie, Blind broad Serena Olsen, called The Blind Grind. She loves breaking down origami and and loves to teach it and other artforms non-visually to other blind people, and not blind people. LM also makes her own beauty products such as lotion, chapstick, and face cleansers and... life-coaching to help you access your greatest sense of joy.
Serena Olsen is the Frugal Foodie, writer, culinarian, and food creative adventuring at the intersection of food & happiness. Superpowers: sweeping the fridge & repurposing leftovers, and sniffing and tasting. Feed the body & feed the soul.❤️‍🔥 Her other arts include textile and writing arts, and podcast co-creation.
In this episode we start with and three way conversation between me and other podcast hosts!!! from the FB live series, the Blind Grind, and dive right into the very notion of creativity, and valuation of art, breaking barriers of what people believe you're capable of with audio descriptions for art forms, intersections of accessibility, time as a finite resource vs. outsourcing it using the privilege of capital, travel and what being among other cultures teaches, reclaiming identity, breaking assumptive limitations, and the vulnerability of being seen being creative.
