Mr. Sunshine Solar

Mrs. Sunshine is a special education teacher and social media influencer who advocates for monocular vision awareness, using her platforms (like @heymissteacher) to promote self-love and acceptance of physical differences. Having lost vision in her left eye at age five, she openly shares her journey, often rocking fun prosthetic eyes, to inspire others to embrace what makes them unique and never let circumstances define them. She is a dedicated member of the #OneEyedGang community and provides tips for students and fellow educators, all while acknowledging the foundation of resilience set by her mother, who also created a non-profit to help fund prosthetic eyes and their upkeep.

The website, Sunshine Saved, is also dedicated to the broader mission of sustainability, focusing on the actions necessary to maintain modern lifestyles without destroying human health or natural ecosystems. It actively addresses the two massive ecological problems facing humanity: global climate change and the ongoing damage to ecosystems and species extinction. The site works to enact solutions through education, analysis, and advocacy, providing detailed information on topics like household carbon emissions, personal transportation, food and diet, and creating a resilient lifestyle.
