So What’s In The Name Abigale?
Abigale’s name is a blend of ‘Abilities’ and ‘Nightingale’. This represents her unlimited potential and the Nightingale bird, which is a small, ordinary mostly brown bird, known for its extraordinarily beautiful song. The Nightingale is also a symbol of freedom and joy for literary enthusiasts throughout time.
Abigale’s Fortitude
Abby was originally created by Steph’s imagination as an illustration of a woman whose age is unclear. Despite being diagnosed with a rare eye disease that robbed her of most of her sight, she chose to not let this hinder her progress. Instead, she embraced her blindness and utilized the available tools for blind and low-vision individuals in order to continue moving forward in her life.
Global Travels
Abby graduated from an Ivy League school with degrees in business and law. She secured a position as a managing partner at a prestigious global law firm on Wall Street. However, she realized that there was more to life than just working in the corporate world. Thus, she decided to take a break from her high-pressure job and became an enthusiastic adventurer. She traveled all over the world, climbing mountains, sailing the sea, exploring caves, and even walking the runways of major fashion capitals. She met a diverse group of people from different backgrounds and even sang as a popular jazz singer while leading a jazz trio.
In Her Spare Time
Abby has a passion for volunteering, painting, and spending quality time with her retired guide dog, Alexis, who is a charming Yellow Lab. Despite being visually impaired, Abby is still able to express her artistic side through painting. She also resides in a lovely home adorned with decor collected from her travels around the world.
Putting It All Together
Abby has a wealth of travel experience and a strong background in business and law, as well as a love for fashion. She has channeled this knowledge and passion into empowering blind women through her work at Bold Blind Beauty. Abby provides helpful tips, answers questions, and moderates discussions on topics such as empowerment, beauty, and fashion.
