DEI Talk: Gaelynn Lea
Accessibility in the Arts
Gaelynn Lea will be giving an overview of her life as a touring musician with a disability. She will be discussing why accessibility and inclusion in the arts are so important in 2020, and she'll give practical tips to promote better access and visibility from the ground up.
Lea will discuss the relevance and urgency of representation in our culture - not only in the media but in our educational systems. She will end by sharing how her disability helped her discover an important breakthrough at the intersection of disability pride, acceptance, and inner freedom.
