Presenter: Chris Hendricks
Description: We'll be exploring the true value of disability through lived experience, humor and music. While every disability is unique, we are a culture united not just by the mountains we climb but by the gifts (both seen and unseen) the life of disability brings. This discussion is meant to inspire confidence, and offer a new "diamond in the rough" perspective on disability and beyond.
