285. The World We Deserve: LIVE From The NDSS Adult Summit

The Lucky Few

Friends, we had an epic time at the National Down Syndrome Adult Summit in Costa Mesa, CA! It’s a weekend of connection and educational sessions on a variety of topics that address adulthood and aging for the disability community. We had the honor of helping to launch the NDSS Town 21 PSA and spoke with Town 21 news anchor Jessica Kishner about her role in the video, her passion for music, and her dreams. We also got the chance to talk with NDSS President Kandi Pickard and the creator of the NDSS Adult Summit, Jadene Ransdell, about the importance of dreaming big and creating opportunities. Together, we reflected on how we can take the energy and education from this weekend to better support adults with Down syndrome. This episode captures the inspiration, hope, and energy of the weekend and we’re so excited to share it with all of you! This is an episode (and weekend) you don’t want to miss!
