[NFBOH-Cleveland] Diversity and Inclusion

[Suzanne Turner]

Cleveland,

 

In 2018, our National Federation of the Blind National President, Mark
Riccobono coined the 2018 National Convention as "INCLUSIVITY, DIVERSITY,
AND SOCIAL CONDUCT". 

 

In keeping with his consciousness on Diversity and Inclusion, I am ensuring
that we as a complete entity are informed about our historical makeup as
members in the organization. Therefore, we will begin by celebrating Black
History Month with featured stories from our local, state and national
leaders. 

 

So, I am emailing to present, and yet celebrate one of the most influential
and dynamic months of 2019. We will also make an effort to highlight other
important months in 2019 and its inclusiveness, such as, women, Vets, and
others. As the President of the Cleveland Chapter, I am committed and
dedicated to educate and provide my members with the National Federation of
the blind philosophy, mission and historical content. 

 

As most of you know, I have been promoting the two historical books in the
organization, Walking Alone and Marching Together, as well as, Building The
Lives We Want. If you have not read them, do so! Moreover, history is a
passion of mine and I think that everyone should read about this
organization that you pay dues to, advocate for, spend time in and other
aspects of promoting it.

 

Therefore, I will feature two National Federation of the Blind local, state
and or national leaders by email, ListServe and on Facebook during February.
Each week, you will come familiar with them. Some you will know, but others
you may not. Hopefully, you will have an opportunity to meet them in the
future. However, I can assure you that there stories will be motivating and
with humility.  

 

So watch for their life changing edifications.

 

Suzanne

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
