Aria Mia Loberti, who fulfilled her childhood dream of acting with her role of Marie-Laure LeBlanc in Shawn Levy’s “All the Light We Cannot See” series on Netflix, balanced her speech at TheWrap’s Power Women Summit Changemakers dinner with the highs and lows of her journey into the entertainment industry as a blind person, and called on others in the blind community to join her.
Obstacles that inhibited Loberti from realizing her dream sooner included the stigma of being a person with low vision in a world dominated by sighted people, and the lack of people with low vision in the stories and forms of media to which she turned in order to seek solace from the large and small moments of daily rejection she felt from society.
