Just Us Blind Girls, Inc. is a support organization for blind and visually impaired women that was founded on April 7, 1994. The organization was the vision of Virginia Gray, who recognized the need for blind women to come together to support one another in overcoming the barriers that often hinder independence. She also gave the organization its name, Just Us Blind Girls. The charter members were Virginia Gray, Magnolia Lyons, Virginia Height, Jewell Bell, Lyn O'Neal, and Barbara King. Annie Maxwell joined the organization shortly after its founding.

Just Us Blind Girls began with six women who believed that by working together, they could make a greater impact in addressing the challenges faced by blind and visually impaired women. Since its inception, the organization has provided a safe and supportive environment where members can discuss issues affecting their daily lives, including health, employment, economic security, education, and independent living.
