Join in on Hampton Roads NEA Big Read programming and discuss Rebekah Taussig’s powerful memoir "Sitting Pretty: The View From My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body," a profound exploration of disability, identity, and resilience, that offers a poignant and insightful perspective on navigating the world as a person with a disability. It also allows us to explore the Big Read theme of “Health Equity: Where We Live.” Adults. Registration required.
