A diagnosis of neurodivergence can be daunting for Black families and individuals, who are often doubly marginalized. Fighting for acceptance is the first step in receiving the support they need, and keeping the conversation going can help break barriers that lead to justice, inclusion and belonging.
Join us for this important conversation with Wesley Faulkner. Wesley will be sharing on "My ND Journey: Growth, Trauma and Intersectionality". Personal narratives are powerful. They are developed through a mixture of lived experiences & personality, and they create the lens through which we see the world.
Personal stories are one of the most powerful tools we have to connect and go far beyond simply relaying facts and data. This presentation shared from a personal perspective helps us to understand the shared content and each other, and it makes the information memorable. Through the brave telling of lived experiences, an emotional connection is created that affords us a deeper understanding of other people's journeys and allows us to create a culture of acceptance, inclusion and belonging for those who think differently.
