Erskine Brantley’s denial that he was losing his sight led to multiple car accidents and eventually the end to a professional life in broadcasting and sales.

After passing through the five stages of grief, Brantley has come to a place of acceptance. Through the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind’s Business Enterprise Program, Brantley has found a second career. He sat down with Alabama NewsCenter to share his story.
