Holiday gatherings and interactions can bring on both unexpected challenges and stress alongside the joy and delicious food typical of a family gathering, and no one understands the potential struggles better than fellow blind students. Join us for a conversation dedicated to navigating the ups and downs of traveling home, spending time with family, defining boundaries, and serving in roles, ranging from disability educator to tree decorator. Each year brings about changes in ourselves and our families, so before you head home for a month long break from classes, stop to reflect with the NABS Now team on how best to navigate whatever’s coming your way. We hope these humorous stories, proactive pointers, and thoughtful encouragements help you have a wonderful holiday season!

Thank you to our special guests: Mausam Mehta, Ally Mendez, and Qualik Ford.

Created and produced by: Nina Marranca, Elizabeth Rouse, and Seyoon Choi.
