Virtual Book Reading with Shalida A. Askanazi

On February 20th at 3 p.m. EST, MEAction will host a virtual book reading featuring Shalida Askanazi, the Creative Arts & Community Manager for MEAction, reading from her memoir That Girl’s in a Wheelchair. An Afro-Latina disabled writer, Askanazi explores disability, culture, and identity through lived experience, centering what it means to navigate the world in a wheelchair while claiming space as a woman of color. The reading offers visibility, connection, and affirmation for disabled voices too often left unheard. Attendees will have the opportunity to receive a signed copy of the book.
