Summary
Dr. Curtis Sweeney, a blind counseling psychologist diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at 14, turned personal adversity into a mission to empower others. Despite losing his sight, he earned psychology degrees while working full-time, using technology to thrive—and now champions inclusion through events like the “Everyone’s A Winner Road Race,” where he’ll race with the Jamaica Society for the Blind team on June 21, proving resilience and community can turn obstacles into opportunities.
