Disability Reframed: A Growing Community

More than 70 million adults in the U.S.—that’s 1 in 4 people—live with a disability; some since birth, some developed over time, and some lives changed unexpectedly. The disabilities community is growing, and no matter how it arrives in your life, a disability is a natural aspect of the human experience. People with disabilities deserve our recognition and support. Join us in person or virtually on June 26, when disability advocate Nicole Agois Hurel, Managing Director of <a href="https://opendoorartsma.org/">Open Door Arts</a>, will moderate a conversation on ways to be more welcoming and provide resources for people of differing abilities, how to navigate life’s changes with resilience and adaptation, and how together we will build a stronger, more supportive and connected community. Joining Nicole on stage are Keisha Greaves, a motivational speaker, former Muscular Dystrophy Association National Spokesperson, and founder of the company <a href="https://girlschronicallyrock.com/">Girls Chronically Rock</a>; Carl Richardson, the long time Coordinator for implementation of the the Americans with Disability Act, 504, and Diversity Officer for the <a href="https://www.mass.gov/state-house-accessibility">Massachusetts State House</a>; and Tina Zhu Xi Caruso, a visually impaired photographer, disability advocate and participant in the Netflix series <a href="https://youtu.be/kX-QbcXyZug?si=hJZpjgAwqoAy9LYe">Love on the Spectrum</a>. Disability ReFramed is a GBH annual conversation that imagines what the future could be. Come and network prior to the event and learn more from local partner organizations presenting in the GBH Atrium. Please send us your great questions for our panelists! Event registration is FREE but required for the in-person and virtual experience. In-person seating is general admission. This event will be recorded and shared after the event. GBH’s Yawkey theater and public spaces are fully accessible, and there will be Covid-conscious seating available in the Atrium (where the livestream will air) for anyone who would prefer a less-crowded space; masks will be available. This event will be captioned using CART, and will have American Sign Language interpreters (ASL). Both will be available for live and virtual audiences. If you would like to request an additional accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please email <a href="mailto:Accessibility@WGBH.org">Accessibility@WGBH.org</a> or call Audience and Member Services at 617-300-3300 (M-F, 9am-5pm) in advance of your visit. Please note that we will make every effort to secure services, but that services are subject to availability and requests are appreciated by June 16. This event is presented with support from our sponsors: the <a href="https://www.mos.org/being-human">Museum of Science</a>, <a href="https://vinfen.org/">Vinfen, </a><a href="https://www.bentley.edu/">and Bentley University</a> ﻿Image description: In the colors of the disability pride flag, line-drawn people form a circle.
