From being told no medical school would ever accept her to being rejected from job opportunity after job opportunity, Kerry Thompson knew what it was like to be told her dreams were impossible early in life. But being deaf and blind never stopped Kerry from pursuing her goals.

Join us for our first in-person dance class since the pandemic started. Taught by @KerrySpeaksUp in American Sign Language. The event is free but you must register as space is extremely limited due to keeping everyone safe. Register: eventbrite.com/e/silent-rhyth…

Check out how our ED @KerrySpeaksUp invented a new way of dancing at a distance but still being connected through touch for those with deafblindness. Photo credit: Angela Rowlings.
