All UR colleagues are invited to hear Jess Witous’s story on dwarfism and living with a disability, or, as she puts it being “differently-abled” on Monday, October 21st from 4:00-5:00pm in the Family Room at ESC.
Jess spoke four years ago and wants to share more of her story now that she has become a mother to her son who also has dwarfism. Jess will share the facts behind it, her experiences, and share *her* advice on how to talk to others about people with disabilities.
