I'm Molly, a typical sushi, makeup, and fashion loving millennial girl who just so happens to be blind! I was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa at just 4 years old and began public speaking at age 5. I started just doing motivational speaking, but now I make videos and even model! Even though I can’t see, I know that there are bright spots in everything we face. Let’s find them together. 💕

  • “My body is useless but at least I’m gay!” THIS IS MY NEW LIFE MOTTO
  • 37:46 “The disability community is the only minority that anybody can join at any point in life.” —Molly Burke So true. 100%
  • @felixhenson9926
    "Hey so I'm Deaf, prone to period of paralysis, fainting, migraines, cardiac problems, dislocating, and my memory kinda sucks. How do you feel about that?" "I just need to know, are you good around trees" The wholesomeness is too real
  • @vasama3
    THEY FINALLY DID A COLAB!!!!!!
  • @wild_lee_coyote
    “The disability community is the only community that anyone will join at any time.” Is a true statement that is not addressed enough in our society. I truly wish there were classes in primary education that taught people on disabilities and how to assist them. Including teaching everyone how to sign. Education is the key and I am glad to be learning on how I can help and treat those with disabilities so they can live a normal life.

    “my sexuality only brought me joy” this is how it should be for everyone and it’s so upsetting that it isn’t
  • @MichiB
    The way you know Molly is not faking blindness: no one can stay calm and ignore the cute dog randomly showing up.
  • @guyliver1056
    Marvel: We have the most ambitious crossover event in history. Molly and Jessica: Hold my drink!
  • "I'm a left nostril specialist, I don't talk to the right nostril specialist next door."
  • @danischi4080
    You could do a fashion style swap, so Molly shops for Jessie and Jessie for Molly, so you don't need to meet, but can just ship your orders to the other one :)

    Me waiting for Molly to say something about Jessica's dog when it jumped up on her lap... Whoops LOL
  • @JosephSeabourne
    I just Googled it, and less than 8% of disabilities require the use of a wheelchair.
  • @DinocoSparrow
    I love the "not every disability is visible" stickers. I probably would have given dirty looks to people coming out of the toilets a few years ago if it came up, but I realise now you can't always see their struggle.
  • @IceNixie0102
    Molly THANK YOU SO MUCH for literally saying "type 1 diabetic" out loud. As a T1D, while I know that I am disabled, I often feel like an outsider to the disability community, that invisible disabilities are somehow "lesser". I am literally crying for being included. THANK YOU.
  • @mkay4337
    Jessica’s voice is SO relaxing!!!
  • @Positivekitten
    Being legally blind but also not really being all that into fashion, I admit that I skip a lot of your more fashion related videos, but I have absolutely no issue with you doing them. It’s your channel and I think that you doing fashion videos does as much to break down barriers as doing ones specifically about disabilities. It is possible to skip a video that you’re not interested in without having to make negative comments! LOL.

    Angry Mom: Hmmm. Not disabled or a parent, I see. Jessica: Oh, no! Cindy! I left her in the car! runs off
