[NABS-L] This April: A DARE Call Centering Multiply Disabled Voices 💛

[Sergio arvizu Arguelles]

Happy Friday NABS Fam! As we know, everyone’s experience with blindness is different and in our upcoming DARE call hosted by the NABS Advocacy Committee, we’ll explore one of the powerful ways in which the blind experience can vary. This month, we’ll be raising awareness around the lived experiences of people who are multiply disabled. For many of us deeply involved in the blind movement, we may not always be familiar with what it means to navigate the world while being both blind and living with another disability. But worry not this is your chance to learn! We’re honored to welcome four wonderful panelists who will share their stories, challenges, triumphs, and insights. Whether you yourself are multiply disabled or you simply want to be a more informed and inclusive ally, this call will offer valuable perspective and connection. We’ll hear four unique voices, each reflecting how multiple disabilities shape the way they move through the world but also affirming that yes, we can live the life we want, even when living with more than one disability. This conversation will help us reflect on how disability like blindness is not one-size-fits-all, and how our movement can grow stronger by embracing the full diversity of our community. Date: April 13, 2025 Time: 8:00 PM ET Join us via Zoom: https://zoom.us/my/blindstudents Come prepared to listen, learn, and celebrate the voices of those living and thriving with multiple disabilities. We hope to see you there! Kindly, The NABS Advocacy Committee
