Growing Up Differently

Meet Cheryl Knott, St. Mary's County native with a unique perspective on the history of the county.

Join us for a powerful and personal conversation with Cheryl Knott, a St. Mary’s County native, supported by The Arc SoMD, whose story sheds light on what it was like to grow up with a physical disability in a time when inclusion was far from the norm.
Born in 1959, Cheryl’s childhood looked very different from her peers, not by choice, but by circumstance. Hear her reflect on growing up in a community that wasn’t built with her in mind… and how she carved her own path anyway.
