Blindish in Miami

Resilience, Community, and Hope

Hi, I’m Samantha Murphy, founder of 305 Hive® Media and now, the voice behind Blindish in Miami.
In 2025, I was diagnosed with Usher syndrome, the leading genetic cause of combined deafness and blindness.

This space is where you’ll find honest reflections, resources, and insights — all through my lens of living with Usher syndrome. My goal is simple: to shed light on the realities of progressive vision and hearing loss while celebrating resilience, community, and hope. I’m not here as an expert, but as someone navigating this day by day. As I learn, adapt, and share my experiences, I invite you to walk alongside me, discovering and understanding together.
