As we gear up for National Industries for the Blind Public Policy Forum 2024, Dr. Hoby Wedler is joined by Shannon Satterfield, Director of Professional Services at IFB Solutions, to share his extraordinary journey of struggle and advocacy. Shannon was born with achromatopsia and before joining IFB Solutions, he encountered numerous challenges despite his academic achievements. Rejections were frequent, with many people casting doubts over his intelligence and capabilities just because he was blind. However, his unyielding determination, coupled with the support of IFB Solutions, propelled him toward his current role. Now, Shannon is dedicated to empowering BVI individuals nationwide, bridging the gap between aspiration and employment.
Tune in this week as Shannon recounts his career journey and what he loves about his work. His tireless efforts ensure workplaces are accessible and equipped with necessary resources, including remote opportunities, so get ready to be inspired. Whether you’re interested in manufacturing jobs, administration jobs, or just remote jobs for BVI folks in general, you don’t want to miss what Shannon has to say.
