[NAGDU] TEDx Talk on disability and imagination—with a guide dog!

[Emily K. Michael]

Dear friends: 

I’m writing to share my recent TEDx Talk on disability and imagination. My talk was part of the TEDxFSCJ: Engage Conference in November, and it’s titled “The confluence of disaiblity and imagination.” In this talk, I explore the limited characters that others often expect disabled people to play—and how we can find a more empathetic alternative through dialogue, negotiation, and imagination. 

For those with vision, you might be able to see my trusty guide York lying at my feet! I think he might be the first guide to appear on the TED stage. 

Here’s the YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9hBVPY0fC8 

If you encounter any trouble accessing the talk, please let me know. 

I hope you enjoy it!

Warmly,
Emily
