Mark Sedgwick:
Speaker:Saylor, would you like to take it away my friend?
Karly Prins:Well, thank you for having me. Mark. And I ran into
Karly Prins:each other when I was going to grab some water and here I am.
Karly Prins:So yeah, thank you. Sure. Thanks. So my name is Karly
Karly Prins:Prins. And I am living in Des Moines, Iowa. I'm the director
Karly Prins:of the Iowa blindness empowerment and independence
Karly Prins:centre. It is our structure discovery Training Centre in Des
Karly Prins:Moines at the Iowa Department for the Blind. I am originally
Karly Prins:I'm a Kansas girl, Kate, you broke Chuck. And I'm a twin. I
Karly Prins:was born. We were born three months early.
Saylor Cooper:Do you have that? Not that the improvement? Yeah.
Saylor Cooper:Oh, you totally clean? Me too. Yeah. Are you? Are you totally
Saylor Cooper:blind? Who can you see? I have enough to get me in trouble.
Saylor Cooper:Yeah. So I was born. My sister kind of minute older. I like to
Saylor Cooper:add that into her. You know?
Karly Prins:My parents didn't know what to do. They didn't you
Karly Prins:know, people you don't know what you don't know. And so people
Karly Prins:are telling them Oh, she's blind. She's, you know, she's
Karly Prins:not gonna be able to make it through school. And, you know,
Karly Prins:she's gonna be institutionalised for mom and dad. Oh, no, no, no,
Karly Prins:she's not. And so they immediately found resources. And
Karly Prins:they're my biggest advocates, when I could not advocate for
Karly Prins:myself. And I went through public school, I graduated from
Karly Prins:high school, when I was in, I think my eighth grade year, I
Karly Prins:went well, I went to find I was going to Colorado for the
Karly Prins:summer, to the Colorado centre for the blind, and I thought,
Karly Prins:oh, no, it's going to be like, the state blind school in the
Karly Prins:summer. Like, I'm gonna have to do math and reading all summer
Karly Prins:long. I don't want to do this. And my parents, you while you're
Karly Prins:gonna do it anyway. We can't take care of before ever. And so
Karly Prins:I went to Colorado for my first summer of eighth grade and
Karly Prins:eighth grade year. And I went for three, three additional
Karly Prins:summer. So four summers altogether. And I loved it. I
Karly Prins:never wanted to come home, because I had a lot of freedom.
Karly Prins:And it was it was awesome. I remember the second year I was
Karly Prins:there we went whitewater rafting. And I remember they
Karly Prins:said, Well, you're one of you, before the day is over is going
Karly Prins:to be a swimmer, which that means you bow my head, I'm like,
Karly Prins:he's not gonna be me. And that the very last rapid of before we
Karly Prins:got back out of the river. They said, Well, this is the hardest
Karly Prins:rapid that you will have and you will go get sucked underwater.
Karly Prins:But hold on, hold your breath and you'll be fine. Well, one of
Karly Prins:the counsellors got scared and decided she was not going to
Karly Prins:finish it. She got out of the boat. And I don't know how but
Karly Prins:I'm the one that got put on that boat. And I'm the one that fell
Karly Prins:out of the boat. And I was very cold it was 45 degree water and
Karly Prins:over that night, my I guess they call my parents just told them
Karly Prins:by the way currently drown in the water. She's okay. My
Karly Prins:parents wanted to come get me and my my uncle and aunt were
Karly Prins:there and they said they I mean they were getting ready there.
Karly Prins:They had their keys in their hand and they were they were
Karly Prins:about to leave. And I didn't know this part of the story up
Karly Prins:until about six months ago my since then both my parents had
Karly Prins:passed on so my uncle was telling me this story and I did
Karly Prins:not know this part that they were having dinner and they got
Karly Prins:the call that I fell out of the boat and my parents were like
Karly Prins:we're gonna come get her. And my uncle said no, you're not. You
Karly Prins:sent her there to have her be independent. And now if you come
Karly Prins:get her, you are going to take her independence away from from
Karly Prins:her Oh, Good thing they didn't yes and they did not come at me.
Karly Prins:And I spent the rest of the summer learning more skills and
Karly Prins:feeling more freedom and confident and so I that was that
Karly Prins:was like a turning point for me if I can follow the boat
Karly Prins:whitewater rafting I can pretty much do anything. I then before
Karly Prins:I graduated high school I decided I wanted to be in the
Karly Prins:adult programme after the summer programme. So I graduated a
Karly Prins:semester early and I wanted to go to the adult programme before
Karly Prins:college. So I went back to Colorado for actually
Karly Prins:technically it was the fourth time I went back to Colorado
Karly Prins:because the fourth time was when I was in the adult programme, of
Karly Prins:course, I finished that programme. In the same semesters
Karly Prins:I graduated high school. Because I left us I graduated in
Karly Prins:December, went to training that semester from January to June.
Karly Prins:And I was able to walk at graduation in May. So that was
Karly Prins:pretty cool. I doubled up on classes the fall before so that
Karly Prins:I could get done and I could go go to Colorado. Yay, Callie.
Karly Prins:Yay. And then I went to college, um went to Washburn University,
Karly Prins:following my Johnson County Community College. What did you
Karly Prins:study? Business Administration? Okay. Yes, yes. So I have my
Karly Prins:business business administration degree, very nice. Um, I then
Karly Prins:went and I was trying to figure what I was going to do. I did
Karly Prins:mortgages for awhile, I was a loan officer for three and a
Karly Prins:half years. And then I went to a job and they did some
Karly Prins:advertising and HR marketing and the company, unfortunately, they
Karly Prins:had to close. So we, we were couple of us were laid off. So I
Karly Prins:was looking for work, and I was taking care of my niece and
Karly Prins:nephew. And they were at the time they were oh my gosh, maybe
Karly Prins:one and three. And when they were that age, I was like, Well,
Karly Prins:I needed to find work. I was looking for work, but I didn't
Karly Prins:have anything yet. And I got a notice that Colorado centre for
Karly Prins:the blind had a summer programme. They were looking for
Karly Prins:people to work the summer programme, I'm like, well, I
Karly Prins:could do that I need something to do. And you know, and so I
Karly Prins:applied and I got that job. And this summer that was great. Left
Karly Prins:had to leave my niece and nephew. That was kind of sad,
Karly Prins:but my United be back. And so then I came I got done with that
Karly Prins:summer. And then I found out that there was a job in
Karly Prins:Baltimore that was teaching home management skills, which is what
Karly Prins:I taught in the summer programme. I was originally
Karly Prins:supposed to teach Braille in the summer programme, and then they
Karly Prins:asked me to teach home management instead. And so
Karly Prins:that's what I did. Oh, management, let's pause there
Karly Prins:because I don't management you got you got a question? arise in
Karly Prins:my mind if that's the way you said, Okay, a question came up.
Karly Prins:Okay. So you took care of your niece and your nephew, little
Karly Prins:babies? Yes. What do you what do you what would you say to those
Karly Prins:people who are doubters? And would say, How could a blind
Karly Prins:woman take care of infants? How is that possible? How is that
Karly Prins:even possible? And yeah, let's start there. You know, you know,
Karly Prins:your kids that you're taking care of, you know, your
Karly Prins:children, if you have children, and you're a parent, you know,
Karly Prins:your children, you know, they get a little too quiet, they're
Karly Prins:maybe doing something that maybe they shouldn't, or they're
Karly Prins:sneaking around trying to, like, you know, explore because babies
Karly Prins:explore, you have to be aware of where they're at, you have to be
Karly Prins:aware of what they're doing. And, you know, sometimes I know
Karly Prins:people that have put like bells on their shoes on their kids, so
Karly Prins:that when they when their kids walk around, they know where
Karly Prins:they're at. I did not do that with my niece and nephew only
Karly Prins:because I didn't at that point, I didn't necessarily need to do
Karly Prins:that with them. Because they weren't. They didn't know how to
Karly Prins:be quiet. They were just, you know, they were just loud. They
Karly Prins:just like crawled and like they run into things. And I you know,
Karly Prins:they'd be big kids. So I, I knew where they were.
Karly Prins:And so, you know, I just it was just natural to me. I mean, I my
Karly Prins:sister is funny because my I didn't know this for years
Karly Prins:later. My sister was a little nervous. And she told my brother
Karly Prins:in law, how was Karly going to watch Bella, who's my niece? And
Karly Prins:what's going to happen? What if? What if she can't find her? What
Karly Prins:if she loses her? My brother in law said, Well, how do you do
Karly Prins:it? You know, and if she's gonna be fine, like you're you have as
Karly Prins:a mom, you know, you have to figure out where your kid is,
Karly Prins:you know, if she goes out of the room, you're gonna have to know
Karly Prins:that she goes out of there. And so it's same way Karly just
Karly Prins:listens, you know? And my sister, she didn't tell me that
Karly Prins:for years because she didn't she she said she, when she told me
Karly Prins:this, she felt really guilty for even for asking that client,
Karly Prins:right? Because she's my sister and like, she you know, and so
Karly Prins:my brother in law was almost like, come on, you know, she can
Karly Prins:be fine. So that's yeah. And so since then she had no, you know,
Karly Prins:she was, you know, hey, I, Carly, can you watch though I
Karly Prins:need to go here. If you watch Isaac, I need to go here. That's
Karly Prins:awesome. I watch them a lot all the time. Good. Yes. And kids
Karly Prins:are awesome. And so let's talk about I'm gonna be working with
Karly Prins:kids. My whole life, I think that's one of my gifts to
Karly Prins:connect with the youth, because I feel I relate to them. Yeah, I
Karly Prins:understand them. And I know what it's like to be a troublemaking
Karly Prins:kid and to get a lot of trouble and stuff like that. And so and
Karly Prins:so I know the solution is also with behaviour a lot of times
Karly Prins:and so I've been studying that in college for a while now and,
Karly Prins:and also getting real life experience taking care of kids.
Karly Prins:It's been so cool. And I'd love to be a PE coach coming soon,
Karly Prins:the elementary school level. So I'm on a journey with the youth
Karly Prins:to, but I want to know about the home development stuff. What are
Karly Prins:you doing with with with the company that you're working for
Karly Prins:Iowa? Iowa Department for the Blind, Department for the Blind.
Karly Prins:Okay, and I saw empowerment director on your car. Tell me
Karly Prins:about that. So I have a blindness empowerment and
Karly Prins:independent centre is the centre that I run in Des Moines, Iowa
Karly Prins:is a structured Discovery Centre, and we teach all classes
Karly Prins:everything including home management, cane travel,
Karly Prins:woodshop Braille technology, and career exploration, career
Karly Prins:exploration. And, you know, people are like, woodshop, how
Karly Prins:do you want how do you use a song? Well, yeah. And so you
Karly Prins:just have to, you know, know that, okay, there's a song in
Karly Prins:front of you, you know, there's there's a blade, but don't reach
Karly Prins:your hand out in the play, like, know your surroundings. We don't
Karly Prins:modify anything. It's just the regular shots, you just have to
Karly Prins:know what's around you. Pay attention, you know, we, we
Karly Prins:we've not we've not had any accidents in the woodshop since
Karly Prins:we've been around. And that's been since 1958
Karly Prins:When Dr. Jernigan came and started directing the Iowa
Karly Prins:Department for the Blind,
Saylor Cooper:this was before LCD and all that,
Karly Prins:yes. Yes, it was. And
Mark Sedgwick:so I was just talking with Tamar up in the
Mark Sedgwick:room and my friend Tamar, he's, he's had some struggles with
Mark Sedgwick:rejection, because of his blindness with career stuff. You
Mark Sedgwick:know, with Apple, he's had some problems with and so Saylor nose
Mark Sedgwick:and, and so we're talking about rejection, and fear of the
Mark Sedgwick:future, right. We're also talking about that Saylor man
Mark Sedgwick:you a little while ago, with his new business ventures he's
Mark Sedgwick:doing. So you know, the unknown can be very scary if you have no
Mark Sedgwick:faith. Or if you have your faith begins to be challenged, right?
Mark Sedgwick:flexed, that faith muscle was then flexed and challenged. And
Mark Sedgwick:so I think what you're highlighting today, Miss Karly
Mark Sedgwick:is the the discovering the discovering of the unknown can
Mark Sedgwick:then make the fear go away. You get familiar with the tools of
Mark Sedgwick:the woodshop Yeah, and you're not so afraid anymore. You get
Mark Sedgwick:some guidance, you get some mentorship, yes. And then
Mark Sedgwick:suddenly, you're empowered. And you're not as afraid.
Karly Prins:Sure. And yeah, my we're in the woodshop if you
Karly Prins:know we tell students if you can operate a mitre saw, a bandsaw,
Karly Prins:a laythe a route or a drill, a planer. All those all those any
Karly Prins:saw you if you can, if you can do those things and operate
Karly Prins:those machines, then you can travel and do drop off. And you
Karly Prins:can go anywhere you want. You can do anything you want. If you
Karly Prins:can handle a big salt, you can handle a little cooking project,
Karly Prins:like maybe you cook for your family know, it really helps
Karly Prins:build that confidence. And that's why all of our classes
Karly Prins:are so are so important. woodshop is definitely one that
Karly Prins:builds that confidence up.
Saylor Cooper:You see, I went to Chris Cole, which I don't
Saylor Cooper:know if you've heard of and it's not quite like the Iowa one and
Saylor Cooper:I'll see me but I did go it was good. But to get into one Iowa,
Saylor Cooper:do you have to be a resident of Iowa do our State students accepted?
Karly Prins:That is a very good question out of state students
Karly Prins:are accepted. And we we actually were working with somebody last
Karly Prins:year of getting them in so we would work with whatever state
Karly Prins:that you're from, with the state of counting and work on a
Karly Prins:contract with Iowa in the state that you are from so that you
Karly Prins:can attend our centre. I see.
Saylor Cooper:And how long is the programme in Iowa?
Karly Prins:So the programme is from average of six to nine
Karly Prins:months that I'll be able to correct? Yes, yep. We do have
Karly Prins:student apartments that are about a mile away from the
Karly Prins:centre. Students do have a two bedroom two bathroom. They have
Karly Prins:you know, living space that they share, you know, the living room
Karly Prins:and kitchen. And I always tell tell our new students at some
Karly Prins:point in your training you will have a roommate you know,
Karly Prins:depends on You know, when people graduate and things like that
Karly Prins:some people think they'll have their own apartment. No, not
Karly Prins:quite not all the time, you know, but the apartments, that's
Karly Prins:a way of life, you know, yeah, you you are going to need to
Karly Prins:figure out housing and things of that sort. Once you leave the
Karly Prins:centre and we work on that, while they're in the centre, you
Karly Prins:know, are you gonna go to college you are going to work we
Karly Prins:work on you know, having having them start the process of trying
Karly Prins:to get an apartment in our house after graduation.
Saylor Cooper:So not just a problem in itself affordable
Saylor Cooper:apartments because many of them just wrecked.
Mark Sedgwick:Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So let's see anything else you
Mark Sedgwick:want to tell to the youth? I think we've highlighted some
Mark Sedgwick:pretty strong stuff, but anything else you guys want to
Mark Sedgwick:talk about or highlight before we go?
Saylor Cooper:If you don't have anything else, I can close
Saylor Cooper:without customary ending You have anything, Karly?
Saylor Cooper:We'll just I'll say to the youth out there. Stay strong. Future.
Saylor Cooper:My word that I use is bliss. It's a much word in my vocab.
Saylor Cooper:Because the sound of a world says since just a few of
Saylor Cooper:feelings of delight, you can live a life full of bliss,
Saylor Cooper:regardless of your circumstances.
Karly Prins:Yeah, I will say if youth are listening, we do have
Karly Prins:a youth summer programme. It's the LEAP programme. It's the
Karly Prins:leadership education and advocacy programme. And it is
Karly Prins:for transition students ages 14 to 21. And that is during summer
Karly Prins:actually our students are here at our at the convention in our
Karly Prins:Iowa affiliate. So we do have the youth summer programme and
Karly Prins:we also have a YTP young adult transition programme that is
Karly Prins:throughout the school year. And that is with our transition age
Karly Prins:students from 17 to 21, who still have an IEP, they may have
Karly Prins:some goals that they need to finish up on their AP plan. So
Karly Prins:the YTP programme is for those students and some of the
Karly Prins:students will transition from the YTP programme into our Iowa
Karly Prins:blindness empowerment and independence centre programme.
Mark Sedgwick:And that just gave me another question also,
Mark Sedgwick:which is for people that are around the world who are
Mark Sedgwick:struggling, you know, we do want you to look around and look at
Mark Sedgwick:what kind of resources look at what kind of help Can't you can
Mark Sedgwick:find, you know, look what look at for mentors that can show you
Mark Sedgwick:the way and give you a blueprint to follow and to show you how
Mark Sedgwick:you can do things how you can navigate how you can cook even
Mark Sedgwick:though your mind yeah, I can cook for you how you can serve
Mark Sedgwick:hiking, get a job. This is so important. And so many people
Mark Sedgwick:are struggling with this fear and this feeling of disability
Mark Sedgwick:rather than taking it as a challenge.
Saylor Cooper:Yeah, yeah. disability. It's a limitation.
Saylor Cooper:It's, it's an ability to do stuff differently. Yes.
Karly Prins:Can I just say you mentioned the cooking and you
Karly Prins:know, getting a job we're in our centre programme we do have
Karly Prins:different benchmarks that we want our students to, you know,
Karly Prins:get to so they can graduate. One of them is the cooking aspect,
Karly Prins:they have three small meals so they cook for six to eight
Karly Prins:people, they have to budget they have to go shopping
Karly Prins:independently via bus, they have to time management use time
Karly Prins:management, you know how long is gonna take me to cook this and
Karly Prins:they have obviously a limited amount of time to cook the meal
Karly Prins:and so we have three small meals and then when they get to their
Karly Prins:their fourth and final meal that's their large meal and
Karly Prins:that's for the staff and students in the centre and the
Karly Prins:young adult changes. Yeah for you. Yeah 25 to 40 people
Karly Prins:sometimes is 50 people and but they have the skills in that at
Karly Prins:that point because they're almost done with the programme.
Karly Prins:They have the skills and confidence to that if you can
Karly Prins:cook a meal, you can go anywhere you want. You can try if you
Karly Prins:know if you can get dropped off, we have a drop off and travel.
Karly Prins:If you can get dropped off. Yeah, anywhere you you get
Karly Prins:dropped off and find your way back to the centre you can
Karly Prins:travel anywhere you want. I I grew up in Kansas, I went to
Karly Prins:Colorado for training, moved to Kansas, moved to Missouri moved
Karly Prins:to Baltimore, Maryland, where it worked, teaching management and
Karly Prins:then I moved to Iowa. So if you have the skills and you continue
Karly Prins:to use them after you graduate from the centre, you can do
Karly Prins:anything you want. Go anywhere you want. Yeah, you can if you
Karly Prins:don't use them, you lose them. And so I always tell students,
Karly Prins:your training is not done when you leave the centre you are
Karly Prins:just it's another chapter that you have to continue to hone
Karly Prins:those skills.
Mark Sedgwick:Yes. Right over and over another chapter.
Mark Sedgwick:Another chapter believe that and you know what, a lot of folks at
Mark Sedgwick:home have sight. Yet they still don't feel empowered yet they
Mark Sedgwick:still don't feel like they can travel and go find a better life
Mark Sedgwick:for themselves. They don't have the faith. They don't have the
Mark Sedgwick:hope they don't feel like they have the capacity or the mental
Mark Sedgwick:strength or held down by these, yes see deception by this by
Mark Sedgwick:these chains of deception and fear and anxieties. You know, I
Mark Sedgwick:want to encourage you guys today to trust in your Creator
Mark Sedgwick:trusting God trust in, in your mentors that you can find a
Mark Sedgwick:mentor you can find a better way. And you know we thank you
Mark Sedgwick:so much for coming on the show hope without Sight and Shine Podcast
Saylor Cooper:Yes and before before anything my customary
Saylor Cooper:ending, what advice would you give to anybody who's struggling
Saylor Cooper:in life and doesn't know where to turn?
Karly Prins:Don't give up and know that, you know, you don't
Karly Prins:know what you don't know. Take opportunities that are given to
Karly Prins:you do not throw them away. Because if I hadn't taken the
Karly Prins:opportunity that I took in that summer of 2012 and I, I hadn't,
Karly Prins:you know, I was asked to teach Oh, management, and I hadn't
Karly Prins:taken that opportunity to I don't know where I would be
Karly Prins:right now. Right? I may be doing this, I may not be doing this.
Karly Prins:But if you're given an opportunity, run with it,
