A Blind Mother of Two Who Makes Her Own Way

Rahkiya Rawlins, legally blind since birth, has found ways of navigating the world. 
She has a liquid level indicator, which emits a sound when she’s filling a glass and about to reach the brim. When sweeping the floor, she starts from the corners and works her way to the middle, following set choreography because she cannot see the dirt. She has the layout of at least three supermarkets memorized so she can move from aisle to aisle with no surprises.
