All She Wrote Books Presents: Author Emily Ladau

Join All She Wrote Books on Friday, October 30th at 7:00pm at Connexion, as we welcome author and disability activist Emily Ladau to celebrate the release of the updated version of Demystifying Disability! This book is an approachable guide to being a thoughtful, informed ally to disabled people, with actionable steps for what to say and do (and what not to do) and how you can help make the world a more inclusive place. This book launch event will include a moderated discussion with Meghan Smith, award-winning reporter at GBH News, an audience Q&amp;A, and a signing by Emily! There will be ASL/CART services available for this author event. "Inclusivity" isn't just a buzzword to us. We make every effort to ensure our space and events are accessible to and for everyone. If you or someone in your party needs additional accommodations, please email us at <a href="http://mailto:info@allshewrotebooks.com/">info@allshewrotebooks.com</a>. About Demystifying Disability People with disabilities are the world’s largest minority, an estimated 15 percent of the global population. But many of us—disabled and nondisabled alike—don’t know how to act, what to say, or how to be an ally to the disability community.&nbsp;What are the appropriate ways to think, talk, and ask about disability? Demystifying Disability is a friendly handbook on the important disability issues you need to know about, including: • Recognizing and avoiding ableism (discrimination toward disabled people) • Practicing good disability etiquette • Ensuring accessibility becomes your standard practice, from everyday communication to planning special events • Appreciating disability history and identity • Identifying and speaking up about disability stereotypes in&nbsp;media Authored by celebrated disability rights advocate, speaker, and writer Emily Ladau, this practical, intersectional guide offers all readers a welcoming place to understand disability as part of the human experience. About the Author Emily Ladau is a passionate disability rights activist, writer, and communications and cultural access consultant. Her career began at the age of 10, when she appeared on multiple episodes of Sesame Street to educate about her life with a physical disability. Emily’s writing has been published in outlets including The New York Times, CNN, Vice, and HuffPost and her first book, Demystifying Disability, was published by Ten Speed Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House. She has spoken before numerous audiences, from the U.S. Department of Education to the United Nations. Central to all of Emily’s work is her belief that by sharing our stories and making the disability experience accessible to the world, we’ll reach a world that’s more accessible and inclusive for everyone. In-conversation Partner Meghan is an award-winning reporter at GBH News, Boston’s local NPR/PBS Station. Part of the Equity and Justice team, she is pioneering crucial coverage on local disability communities and national accessibility issues that other outlets overlook. A trusted go-to voice across New England, her reporting and documentary work have earned her a national Clarion Award, two regional Murrow Awards, a PMJA Award, and a New England Emmy. She holds degrees from Boston College and Harvard Extension School.
