SUMMARY:Disability Book Series: Nina G on Stutterer Interrupted
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next installment of the Disability Book Series\, with Nina G and her book Stutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn’t Happen. \nThe only female comedian who stuttered when she started 10 years ago\, Nina G believes that the problem isn’t with the stutterer\, but with a society that isn’t inclusive or accessible to those who experience this disability. \nIn her book Stutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn’t Happen\, Nina challenges the status quo of how people who stutter are perceived onstage and off. \nAs a child\, Nina had a life-long dream of becoming a comedian\, but never thought she’d be able to go up on stage and make people laugh. Her story is about how stuttering caused her to first abandon her dreams\, then to embark on a journey that culminated in a career as one of only a handful of stuttering stand-up comedians working today. \nHow to Join \nThis event is free and will be on Zoom. We will send the Zoom access link to everyone who registers in advance for this program. Registration closes on 8/29 at 2 pm. \nAbout Nina G \nNina G was the only woman who stuttered in the stand-up comedy world when she started nine years ago. She co-produced the Comedians with Disabilities Act\, a national touring comedy show featuring exclusively comedians with disabilities. Nina’s brand of comedy reflects the experiences of many with disabilities. She tours the country as a conference keynote speaker including at a TEDx talk at San Jose State University. A Huffington Post contributor\, she has a doctorate in psychology\, teaches at a Bay Area Community College\, and lives in Oakland\, California. Stutterer Interrupted: The Comedian Who Almost Didn’t Happen is her second book. \nAccessibility \nThis event will have both ASL interpreters and live CART captioning services. \nFor any additional accessibility needs\, please contact Peter Estes at (415) 546-1333 ext 309 or peter@sdaction.org \nFree \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/disability-book-series-nina-g-on-stutterer-interrupted-registration-107620921072 ninagbooking@gmail.com
