Community Calendar

The pressure to see people as “other” seems to be growing. This concerning trend makes the recent publication of See Us, Know Us: Profiles of Disability, all the more important.

Join author Jennifer “Jenn” Chassman Browne at Volumes of Pleasure Bookshop for a book reading, discussion, and signing of her book.

Jenn will be inviting readers to connect with real people who happen to have disabilities. She does this through her narrative biographies and original poems for each of the 30 individuals featured; these are then matched with captivating black-and-white portraits by photographer Natalie Brescia.

Join us for a special book launch celebrating Los Osos resident, disability educator, and advocate Jennifer Chassman Browne and her new book, See Us, Know Us: Profiles of Disability, published by Torchflame Books.

The book’s message of access, inclusion, and belonging aligns with the Estero Bay Kindness Coalition’s commitment to caring for our neighbors and bringing the community together.

Jennifer has generously offered to donate half of the proceeds from book sales at the event to the Kindness Coalition.
