Anita Cameron!

From June 1-20 we are hosting disability justice legend Anita Cameron as she works on her memoir as our writer-in-virtual-residence. It’s such an honor to get to see her devote this time to working on her memoir. She will be delighting us by reading a selection from her memoir and taking questions as part of our official launch of the DisCoTec Center on June 27that 7pm EST. June 27 is also Anita Cameron’s birthday, so celebrations abound!

If you’d like to join us for Anita Cameron’s Reading and DisCoTec Launch, here is the registration link. June 27, 7:00pm-8:15pm EST. We will have CART captioning and ASL interpretation provided.
