On Tuesday, Oct. 6, Metro State University in St. Paul, MN held an awareness event for Disability Awareness Month. Not only was yours truly an honored guest, but I got to share the stage with Minnesota Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie (the kind of guy I wish I could vote for, but that would mean having to live through Minnesota winters!)
Special thanks to Mary Bailey-Bustos and Stephanie for all the help logistically, for being so darned entertaining and welcoming for we out of towners!

Glad to hear you got the chance to speak. I'm sure it was impactful. And as this is Disability Awareness Month, I have a short video I'd like to share with you -- http://www.ahamoment.com/vote/jeannie -- about the aha moment of one woman who didn't let blindness stop her from being an active participant in life. Then click to vote for her. The top vote getters in the contest will be aha moment TV commercials next year. More media exposure around disability awareness would be a very good thing.
Thanks,
