In 2016, the actress opened up about growing up with her brother’s condition.

“The way I grew up is just a little bit different than everybody else, because my was born blind. So my perception on the world and things is just a little bit different."

"My compassion and my sensitivity are heightened because of my brother’s blindness…and spending a lot of time with him. And you know, teaching him things that I’ve learned…and then vice versa somewhat. Me spending time with him at his programs…like ‘The Braille Institute’…just different little things. So I got a chance to experience life on a different level. Patience in watching these people that volunteer to work with children that have some sort of impairment.”
