Lauren 'Lolo' Spencer is an actress, advocate, and influencer. She shares the experiences of being a disabled black woman through her social media channels. Lolo starred in James' Tommy Hilfiger campaign in 2018 and went on to starring in the award winning film 'Give Me Liberty'. They discuss the journey of traveling to the Cannes Lions Advertising Festival in France with both a physical disability and blindness respectively.

In the first episode of the BLIND ABROAD Podcast, James Rath, and co-producer, Josh Forbes discuss how they met after Josh learned he was the father of two legally blind sons. This fateful meeting eventually led to James and Josh collaborating on a couple of film projects that revealed just how challenging travel can be for a blind person like James.
