With Jessica Slice, author of Unfit Parent
VIRTUAL via ZOOM
Join us for a powerful conversation with Jessica Slice as she shares her journey through motherhood, disability, and advocacy. Drawing from her book Unfit Parent: A Disabled Mother Challenges an Inaccessible World, Slice shares personal stories and research that reshapes our understanding of parenting, care, and community. Unfit Parent reveals societal norms and assumptions about ability, worth, and what it truly means to be a "fit" parent.
