My Journey To A Better Place

Join us for a discussion with Aaron Merry, Owner and CEO of My Epilepsy Journey, where he will share his lived experiences with the impairment with an emphasis on the attitudinal barriers and discrimination.

Tuesday, May 30, 2023 from  1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Attitudinal discrimination and behaviors can be some of the hardest obstacles to overcome when creating inclusive environments for diverse and marginalized populations, including persons with disabilities. Come join us as we welcome Aaron Merry to the Centennial College community. He self-identifies as a person with epilepsy. Aaron will engage us in an interactive discussion as he describes his lived experiences with the impairment with an emphasis on the attitudinal barriers and discrimination that he has encountered. He will focus his discussion in the context of the higher education and work environment. Within his narrative, he will address the unique strategies that he has used to overcome these barriers.
