Garrick is a champion advocate. He is a blind African American who has dedicated the major part of his life to support those whose life experiences are similar to ones he himself has experienced throughout his own life. As a young man he lacked mentorship, and is trying to be exactly that, a mentor for young people who are been forgotten or set on the margins by society.  

In today's podcast, Garrick will share his life and the circumstances that took him not only to advocate for other, but to organize the first national conference for the blind in Mexico. He is one of the four Metas founders, two of whom themselves are Mexican.

You can find him on Facebook as Garrick G. Scott. You can also check out the work of the organizations that Garrick is associated with: Metas International, National Federation of the Blind, Centers for Independent Living, and Citizen Advocacy.
