January 22, 2022 was the date for our Online Hmong with Disabilities Conference featuring amazing interactive workshops, speakers, panel storytelling and discussions lined up.
By using the theme “Reflecting on the past, sharing today’s experiences, and building for tomorrow,” we are answering that all voices and experiences are valued and calling on communities to become involved in this effort. Participants have the possibility to use the conference as an opportunity to gather or give input on important community initiatives such as this one. Please share with your circle.
Thank Yous!
