[NFBP-Talk] [GreaterPhilly] Zoom Events This Week

Tue Aug 4 20:58:19 UTC 2020

Good afternoon Juliet,

Our deaf blind population is one component of diversity and inclusion. It is very important that the affiliate knows the types of things that can be done to make sure that this population feels inclusive in our activities. We not only have members who are deaf blind, but we may sometimes look for speakers, or vendors who are deaf blind also. We are just trying to gain knowledge from those who live with these experiences daily.

I hope this puts a better light on the subject.

Thank you,
Denice Brown

That is the purpose of the diversity and inclusion meeting? This is absolutely ridiculous. If you and our state affiliate president would like to censor what is being said, there is no purpose north transparency in these meetings. There is no real goal for true diversity or inclusion. It is bullshit. Forward that over to whoever you’d like.
