So last Tuesday I went to San Francisco's pier at night. It was nice because it was not crowed or anything but I was not there to sight see. I was not there because I like the city but yet I was there to go the Aquarium by the bay but I was not there to see fish.
I was there to see a movie and not just a movie but a Q and A with the film maker do you know who yet?
I will give u a hint he is also a father,
He is a fabulous photo journalist his work has been in Time Magazine

It Was DAN HABIB OF INCLUDING SAM.
I was so excited to meet him and listen to him speak. He is soo good with presenting there were some kids there and it was really nice that he took the time to interact with him. He had recognized me and during the presentation asked me to stand up and I got a standing ovation. I really loved going it was soo cool because I finally got to 'meet' him . Of course we have been Facebook friends for a while now. I really love having IRLs. I was in my element going to stuff like this really solidifies that I want to be a disabled advocate on the rights of inclusion of students with disabilities. I am norm, something I am a part of is going to be having another youth summit and this time I will be attending. The best part was that the evening changed people's attitudes and got the conversation started. Thanks Dan for coming hope to see you again soon
That is SO cool! It sounds like a great night. :-)
ReplyDeleteHooray for getting the conversation started and having a place to continue it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get Habib the first time around, which probably shows how many Dads are advocating for their children and the wider world.
It was great seeing the way he interacted with the children, according to your report.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing! You look so stoked!
