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. 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.

There’s a competition to write a piece of music to be part of a movie. Most of it is set in Hawaii and there’s a blind female lead. You can pick between two scenes. To enter, make a recording of your piece and send it through the website, the winning piece is used as part of the film score. On the website, where it says classical guitar, think acoustic guitar; Ed Sheeran or similar. Text from the flyer appears below. I’m on the judging panel. Very best wishes, Sandra. INTERNATIONAL MUSIC COMPETITION This is a fantastic opportunity to have your original music performed in the new international feature film Shadow of Light For info visit https://shadow-tdg.com/events/ From suplice.c at northeastern.edu Fri Apr 25 15:46:05 2025 From: suplice.c at northeastern.edu (Christopher Suplice) Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2025 15:46:05 +0000 Subject: [NABS-L] =?utf-8?b?8J+OtvCfjqQgQ291bnRkb3duIE9O8J+OpPCfjrY=?= Message-ID: [https://res-1.cdn.office.net/assets/mail/file-icon/png/docx_16x16.png]Game Night Song Quiz Reminder.docx Please see the attached document for this email's content.
