Break through the Barriers of Visual Impairment with Johana Apolo of Jojo’s Simple Life Coaching

Disability has never been a hindrance to success. Many people take it as a challenge but it’s never a hindrance to reaching what you dream. An inspiring story from Johana Apolo’s life makes us wonder about and believe in our potential capacity. Every one of us has our struggles, but it will be ours to tackle. Together with Rosie Paulsen in this episode of  Cafecito with Rosie.

Johana Apolo was born in Ecuador. She was diagnosed with bilateral optic nerve atrophy when she was 7. A virus attacked her optic nerve and caused severe damage to her sight. Her family immigrated to the United States when she was 14. Moving to the United States was certainly a culture shock. She neither spoke nor read English. But she immediately fell in love with the United States and all the opportunities here.

She was determined to succeed and kept looking for opportunities to advance herself. Johana never let obstacles get her down and keep her from succeeding.

Her passion is to inspire and motivate those struggling in life due to vision loss. She founded JOJO’S SIMPLE LIFE COACHING, which empowers men and women with visual impairments to break through their barriers and become independent! No one should go through hardships alone.

Networking and collaboration are very simple concepts. We can work with each other as a community because we never know who’s going to need someone like you and your service. Johana Apolo said, “it is not what you can get out of it, it is what you can contribute to this group of individuals that together we will make a difference that will impact our community, attitude and legacy.”
