SUMMARY:'Sitting Pretty': A Big Read Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Presented By\nRebekah Taussig\n\n\n\nRebekah Taussig lost the use of her legs as a toddler during cancer treatment. Growing up in a wheelchair\, she didn’t see herself reflected in TV shows\, ads\, books\, or movies. But what she did see was disability depicted as a frightening deformity\, held up as inspiration for those in “typical” bodies\, or even as an indicator of some kind of innocence or magical power – and none of that represented her lived experiences. \nShe talks to the Library’s Kaite Stover about the eight essays in her book\, Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary\, Resilient\, Disabled Body\, that largely deal with Taussig’s shifts in self-perception and her relationship with the world around her. They also discuss the public consequences of ignoring differences in ability; everyone\, she says\, lives in a body with limitations\, so conversations about accessibility benefit a far larger population than most imagine. \nThe talk is part of Big Read 2025\, a free\, city-wide reading and public engagement initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts\, in partnership with Arts Midwest\, that aims to broaden our understanding of our world\, our communities\, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. \nTaussig is a lifelong Kansas Citian and author of a forthcoming children’s book\, We Are the Scrappy Ones. She’s also an educator and disability advocate with a Ph.D. in English\, focused on creative nonfiction and disability studies\, from the University of Kansas. She runs the Instagram account @sitting_pretty\, writes for her Substack This Too\, and co-produces the weekly podcast Scratch That. \nASL interpreters at featured presentation \n

SUMMARY:Trans Joy Camp
DESCRIPTION:In the Spring of 2023\, there was a stir in the transgender community of Kansas City.A rise in anti-trans legislation coincided with Transgender Day of Visibility\, leading trans people to take to the streets and raise their voices in defiance of what felt like an unstoppable wave of oppression. The power was palpable.However\, it left some of us wondering – when do we get to rest? When every day feels like a battle\,it can be hard to enjoy the simple things – like a warm spring day in the park.In this spirit\, the first Trans Joy in the Park event was formed. It was a place for us to come together andjust be in all our gender-bending glory. Over a hundred people of transgender experience showed up to this first event\,and Trans Joy KC was born. Since then\, we have expanded our mission to improving the quality of lifefor trans & gender-nonconforming folks of all ages living in the Kansas City area through community connection.
