Berkeley Public Library Page with Zoom Link: Haben Girma & Mychal Threets Discuss Disability Stories @West
Descriptive Transcript
Mychal and Haben sit in chairs in an auditorium. Mychal types on a keyboard as he talks, and Haben, who is Deafblind, reads from her Braille computer as he types. Haben has her guide dog resting on the floor beside her. As she talks Mychal listens with a beaming smile. He’s dressed formally with a snazzy tie and an Afro.
Haben: Yes, it takes some creativity, some funding, some determination to make sure that every person gets access to the library, but we can make that happen.
Mychal: How often do you talk with library staff?
Haben (voiceover): Join us at the Berkeley Public Library, West Branch this Saturday, January 11th, 2:00 p.m. in-person or live-streamed on Zoom, and you can get the zoom link from the library website. Mychal Threets is moderating, and we’re talking about my book, mental health, disability stories. And if you want to suggest questions for us, drop them in the comments.
