Today we started out by unfolding a lot of chairs and setting everything up for Day 1 of the 2017 Dementia & Museums Symposium at the Nasher. The Keynote speaker was incredibly compelling. His name is Damon McLeese and he works a lot with people who have disabilities and diseases that prevent them from getting normal jobs. He uses art to unlock the person they are behind the disability or disease that society only sees. It was inspiring to watch somebody so passionate be here in North Carolina at this museum in Durham. It made me feel confidant. That if these people can succeed so can I. I am so thankful to be experiencing this during my work experience.
