Description

Press release from San Diego Community College District: October 12, 2021 Kay Ulanday Barrett is a poet, performer, and educator, navigating life as a disabled Filipinx-Amerikan transgender queer in the U.S. with struggle, resistance, and laughter. Join them for this workshop and performance to learn about ableism and an intro to disability justice from 2:30 to 4 p.m. Thursday, October 14, 2021. This poetic performance dares us to understand and adore our whole selves. Being Disabled, Sick, Chronically Ill, Deaf, and/or being Brilliant/Crazy are often understood as flawed. Also, as Transgender & Queer People of Color you can be impacted by displacement and migration. Ultimately, we survive in struggles that are alienated and dehumanized. How can we come to a place of honoring ourselves fully? You are invited to embrace a sexy, complicated, sacred, powerful, and amazing lineage. Join the Zoom Meeting here.
