Braille-A-Wear

It's mission is in the name.  Braille-A-Wear was created to give blind and visually impaired people something they never had before -- shirts, they can read.  But it also serves as an awareness campaign, opening up the world to the language of the Blind.

Braille-A-Wear was created by Deb Kersey-Tagoe and her 17 year old daughter, Bronwen, who was born with no eyes.  The idea for Braille-A-Wear developed as Bronwen became more independent and wanted to be able to pick her own clothes out without the help of her mom.  Deb asked Bronwen what she thought about having shirts she could read herself -- and Braille-A-Wear was born.
