It's finally here! SMILE is excited to announce the premiere of our very first episode of "Exploring Our Intersections" Facebook Live on September 2, 2020, at 9:00 PM! This month's topic is "Intersectionality and Me: At the Intersection of Faith, Disability and Race."

Join our hosts, Sukaina Dada and Naima Ismail and our Guest Speaker this month, Amina Hussein, founder of the motivational blog - Adversity with Amina! Amina is a behavioural therapist and an advocate for disability acceptance-based in Texas. Tune in for a conversation about how faith, disability, race and gender shape our experiences.
