Ahead of the release of her first audiobook, we caught up wth MollyBOfficial to learn more about her journey and why she expects her book to be controversial.
offers a pretty realistic idea of the kind of person she is. Recently uploaded video titles include: “I went vintage shopping with Tan France,” “My top 5 tips for dealing with depression,” and “How I know when I have my period without seeing it.” Frank, funny, playful, real—this is Molly in her videos, and this is Molly when we speak on the phone about her new audiobook,Molly, who grew up in Toronto but now lives in Los Angeles, began losing her sight at the age of 4 and was legally blind by 14.
I’ve always wanted to write a book—in fact I did write a book when I was 18 but I ended up pulling out because it didn’t feel like the right time. So I held off, and I’ve just been waiting for what felt like the right time and then last year I told my team that it was time. And that’s when I got to meet the Audible team. What I really appreciated about them compared to some of the other publishing houses we spoke with is that they were open to me writing what I wanted to write.
I think when you’re 18 you feel like an adult. You graduated high school, a lot of people that age are moving out on their own, you feel like you’re grown. And that’s certainly what I thought. I had a full-time career, I had health care benefits, I was paying my own bills, I lived on my own in downtown Toronto, I felt like I was a grown-up.
There’s some pushback among successful women in various fields who don’t want to be identified as “female directors” or “female CEOs” or “female executives” because they don’t think that identifier needs to be tacked on to their accomplishments every time. So I was curious about how you feel when you’re written or talked about as a “blind YouTuber?”
