Language shapes culture. It can reflect our present and change our future. Simply put—the words we choose can change our lives. It is important to be intentional and specific with how we refer to and define ourselves, especially when it comes to social identities like disability status. This can sound simple, but it becomes quite complex when we consider history, politics, individual perceptions, and more.
Join this Gathering to talk with other members of the disability community about the importance of using accurate language and the complexities that arise within the community about this topic. We will also share self-care strategies to use as you navigate language, culture, and identity.
This Gathering is intended for members of the disability community.
Apr. 25 | 12 - 1 p.m. PST
