From: Rene Valdez, Committee Chair

DEI Committee

 

Hello NFBV Family!

I hope you are free next Monday evening!  Your Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Committee has put together a FIRESIDE CHAT you won’t want to miss!  Ready
for this?

What’s All the Buzz About the Intersectionality of Blindness?

WOW!  How’s that for a title!  What does that mean, Renee?

We want to poke around and about how blindness and low vision intersect the
various aspects of our world
your world, like race, gender, socioeconomic
status, age, etc!  

Where do these things cross each other and touch and mingle, and how?  

And what does that mean to us in our own life experience as blind and low
vision people?

How can we work around stereotypes and low expectations?  How can we ensure
that our chapters and the events we sponsor are accessible to all?  

And speaking of assistive technology
what about that too!

WHEW!  We hope you will join the call to hash out this amazing topic
together!
