Talking with Ali Rheaume on disability, art, and the Disability Expo - 04/25/23 (audio)

FM #983 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 983 in the series. 

This session of the radio show shares my recorded conversation with Franklin resident, artist, and disability advocate Ali Rheaume. We had our conversation via the Zoom conference bridge on Tuesday, April 25, 2023. 

Our conversation introduces Ali to the community as she shares some of her story living with a brain injury. We talk about her art work, and in particular, about the forthcoming free Disability Expo scheduled for Saturday, May 20 at Franklin Senior Center from 11 AM to 2 PM.

The recording runs about 25 minutes so let’s listen to my conversation with Ali Rheaume. Audio file -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-983-ali-rheaume-on-disability-and-the-disability-expo-04-25-23
