Bailey Anne Vincent, a professional dancer with atypical cystic fibrosis, will present a choreographed dance performance during a convocation on Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 10:15 a.m. in the MainStage Theater. The performance will be followed by a Q&A session.

This marks 91短视频鈥檚 first keynote event for Disability Awareness Month, which is observed throughout the month of October.

An online bio describes Vincent below:
Bailey is a scar positive, signing, Deaf storyteller and professional dancer, who believes etiquette, work ethic and role modeling matter as much to a role as just inhabiting a part. As a disabled choreographer, director, music supervisor, and actor, she has spent the last 8 years running a company called Company Dance Theatre on the east coast: the first body neutral, large scale company in the US. But she鈥檚 also been a journalist, columnist and novelist for almost three decades, in addition to the trials and tribulations of motherhood. As a formally misdiagnosed mutant, she hopes to raise awareness of atypical Cystic Fibrosis and help anyone who isn鈥檛 genetically in the black or white feel less alone.聽

This convocation is sponsored by 91短视频鈥檚 Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
