This Juneteenth, ACB and the Multicultural Affairs Committee are proud to recognize Janae Miller, an ACB community leader whose dedication and advocacy are helping create a more accessible and inclusive future.

Janae serves as president of the Columbus chapter of the American Council of the Blind of Ohio, is a member of the ACB of Ohio Board, and serves on ACB's Multicultural Affairs Committee. An INSPIRE program graduate, Janae has participated in both the D.C. Leadership Conference and ACB national conventions. She also serves as a commissioner on the City of Columbus Disability Commission. In addition to her advocacy work, Janae is an accomplished pianist and singer.

As we commemorate Juneteenth, we honor leaders like Janae whose service, leadership, and advocacy strengthen ACB and help advance equality, opportunity, and independence for people who are blind or have low vision.
