Submit your event/s here. Note that we limit event listings mainly to free or inexpensive public events in Wellesley, such as talks, films, theatre productions, concerts, etc. This is not a place for businesses to promote themselves, their classes, etc. Please don’t submit events that run for weeks and weeks. We approve event listings before they go live, typically within 24 hours.
No business sales, trunk shows, etc. (those would be paid advertisements). Please go easy on the ALL CAPS, exclamation points!!!!, etc.
We also appreciate any contributions to support our independent journalism venture.

Speaker event: Building Inclusive Communities by Examining Diversity, Disability, Intersectionality, and Ourselves
DATE: Thursday, January 22
TIME: 7:00 PM PM to 8:00 PM

Explore how identity, privilege, and community are shaped through history, beginning with the Civil Rights and Disability Rights Movements. We’ll unpack bias, intersectionality, and how we can each help build more inclusive communities.
Nicole Homerin, M.Ed. (she/her) is an Asian American educator, disability advocate, writer, and lifelong learner. After spending many years working as a teacher of students with disabilities and reflecting on her own lived experience, she began to realize how many aspects of the education system actively work against what is best for students and their families. She has dedicated her life to unlearning ableism and finding creative and innovative ways to make learning accessible and equitable for learners of all ages and access needs.
