SDCCD: Discussion With Kay Ulanday Barrett About Ableism And Disability Justice

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.
