⭐️ Thursday, September 18th at 6 pm!
Join us for a reading and signing with Rachel Kolb to celebrate the release of her memoir, Articulate: A Deaf Memoir of Voice.
A deaf writer’s exploration of language, communication, what it means to be articulate, and her journey to reclaim her voice
“Rachel Kolb’s Articulate: A Deaf Memoir of Voice deftly weaves her personal story with information on Deaf culture, history, and pride. A must read for anyone who wants to learn more about the Deaf lived experience. There is no such thing as being a voice for the voiceless. Everyone has a voice if you are willing to make an effort to understand.” — Alice Wong, author of Year of the Tiger: An Activist’s Life
“An honest and immersive examination of language, voice, speech, and the murky lines that tether and separate them. Required reading for parents, educators, and anyone seeking a new perspective on human communication and connection.” — Sara Novic, New York Times bestselling author of True Biz
