[NABS-L] Healing Through Music: A Concert for Survivors

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Justin:

Thanks for posting this moving expression of the need for healing and the power that music brings to that effort. I hope many of us will benefit from Wayne's unique contributions to the important dialogue taking place in our community, and that his talents (as well as the talents of many other Federationists) will serve as a catalyst for change in and out of the organization.

In solidarity,

Chris

Hi everyone,

In case you missed it, earlier this weekend, there was a really nice concert for survivors of sexual abuse and misconduct within the National Federation of the Blind and our training centers. Wayne Pearcy put on this concert, and he took a few moments here and there to talk about healing and the power of coming forward. He made one comment that I found particularly valuable about taking the time to write out your story in its entirety, even if you don’t know what you’re going to do with it yet.

I think I’m going to write down my story sometime soon. The prospect of doing something with it is still confusing and intimidating, but writing it down will get me one step closer. I really admire Wayne for coming forward.

Here is the link to the concert:
