Encounters with Ableism: A Storytelling Event

Encounters with Ableism: A Storytelling Event

Blind Beginnings invites you to join them for an enlightening online panel discussion about encountering ableism, featuring four young adults who are blind or partially sighted. From navigating ableism in schools and workplaces to overcoming barriers in the medical system, the panelists will share their personal stories and offer invaluable insights into the impact of ableist attitudes on their daily lives—and how they rise above them.

Moderated by Shawn Marsolais, Director of Programs and Community Engagement at Blind Beginnings, this discussion is part of the celebration of Blindness Awareness Month. It aims to deepen understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by young adults living with blindness or partial sight. Don’t miss this opportunity to broaden your perspective and support a more inclusive community.
