So does your city, your school, your hospital, and your neighborhood. The question is: do we know how?For most of us — whether we run a department, teach a class, treat patients, plan events, or simply care about our community — the honest answer is "not as well as we'd like." The DeafBlind community is one of the most underserved populations in nearly every part of public life. Not because the need is invisible, but because almost no one teaches what real access actually looks like.This evening changes that. And everyone is welcome at it.We Are DeafBlind: Voices, Experiences, and the Services That MatterOn Friday, June 26, four DeafBlind experts take the stage at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City to share their lives, their language, and the access that allows them to participate fully in the world. They'll speak openly about the barriers they navigate in hospitals, schools, workplaces, public spaces, and everyday gatherings — and about what genuine, dignified access looks like when it's done right.This is not a sensitivity training. It is not a charity night. It is a conversation — honest, human, and led by the people who live it.A note on why this mattersDeafBlind people are part of the fabric of who we are. They are neighbors, colleagues, family members, friends, patients, students, employees, customers, and constituents. The decisions we make — at work, in our institutions, in how we plan and welcome and serve — shape whether that fabric holds together or frays at the edges.Inclusion isn't something we offer to DeafBlind individuals. It's something we build together, through awareness, honest listening, and the willingness to learn. That's what this evening is for.Who should come?
