Join author, former Able News editor and disability rights activist Emily Ladau for a free event in celebration of the disability community.
Following the recent release of the updated edition of her acclaimed book, Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally, Emily will be in conversation with Xian Horn, Founder of Give Beauty Wings, to discuss how to continue to meet people where they are in their journeys of learning about disability, while also honoring needs for self-care.
ASL interpreting and CART will be provided. There will be light bites and beverages. The event will be held at Positive Exposure, 83 Maiden Lane, Manhattan. Copies of the new edition of Ladau’s book will be available for purchase at this event through Books on Call NYC and Ladau will be doing a book signing following the conversation.
