SUMMARY:Author Visit: Melissa Blake
DESCRIPTION:Paris Hilton claims to have invented the selfie\, but Melissa Blake – freelance writer\, activist\, influencer\, pop culture maven\, and child of the 90s – certainly re-invented it as a tool for affirming human dignity with her #MyBestSelfie campaign for disability representation and pride. Melissa joins us to discuss her book Beautiful People: My Thirteen Truths About Disability. \n\n\n\nIn Beautiful People: My Thirteen Truths About Disability Melissa shares her story\, highlights other activists in the movement\, and issues a clarion call for the disabled community and allies to fight against ableism in our culture and our physical spaces. \n\n\n\nMelissa has written for The Washington Post\, Glamour\, Cosmopolitan\, and many other outlets about celebrities\, fashion\, and pop culture. But it was a political piece she wrote for CNN Opinion that changed her life. When internet trolls disagreed with the views she expressed\, they attacked her viciously: not her argument\, but her physical appearance. \n\n\n\nMelissa was born with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome\, a genetic condition that causes muscle contractions throughout her body\, including her face. The trolls were merciless and when they told Blake never to post her photo on social media\, she decided to do just the opposite: She posted one selfie a day for 365 days\, earning fans worldwide and getting a book deal. \n\n\n\nIn Beautiful People readers will discover: \n\n\n\nBlake’s powerful journey from internalized ableism to claiming self-love and activismHow Blake was impacted by her father’s untimely death; how siblings and parents are impacted by disabilityWhy Blake has been called “a down-home Carrie Bradshaw” – why she advocates for adaptive fashion and how she came to star in her first fashion show during the depths of the pandemicImportant insights from the disability community\, incorporating the work of disabled activists and creatives like Carly Findlay\, Imani Barbarin\, Alyssa Higgins\, Jillian Mercado\, Nic Novicki (Founder of the Disability Film Challenge)\, and many moreWhy disabilities are not the problem – the problem is a world designed as if no one has a disability (though 1 in 4 people do) \n\n\n\nThis program is free and open to all. No registration is required. \n\n\n\nFor additional information\, please contact Samantha at samanthah@dkpl.org or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 1701.

SUMMARY:Mother's Day Saturday Flower Walk
DESCRIPTION:“Visitors often ask us to come outside and help them identify one of the many beautiful spring wildflowers in the forest preserve\,” says Peggy Anesi\, University of Illinois Extension Educator. “Spring is crucial for these delicate plants. Spring wildflowers grow in wooded areas and emerge early to capture sunlight and make food for themselves. If the plants wait too long\, the shade of the trees blocks the precious light they need.” The walks leave from the NREC on the hour starting at 10 a.m. and the last walk leaves at 1:00 p.m. Two local botany enthusiasts\, Karen Matz and Brian Hale\, will lead the flower walks and talk about all that is blooming. Visitors will want to be sure to dress for the weather. This would be a great activity if you have guests in from out of town. The NREC is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for those who wish to come inside to explore the exhibits while they wait for the next scheduled flower walk.
