U.S. PREMIER OF DISABILITY POSTIVE DOCUMENTARY

I’M HONORED TO BE IN THE FILM: “MARK – A CALL TO ACTION” 

I'm proud to share details of U.S. premiere of the documentary that features me as our nation's preeminent Universal Design expert. 

Mark--A Call to Action debuts June 19 at Bryn Mawr Film Institute. 

Every mayor, planner, architect, engineer & urban designer can learn from this film.

It is NOT simply a disability film.

It is about what great things a person with a severe disability can achieve -- when the built environment is inclusive.

Director Ron Small's film chronicles the life and work of scholar/activist Dr. Mark Bookman, who improved the lives of disabled people from the U.S. to Japan.

The late Bookman created a legacy that inspires others to plan for and create a world where no one is left behind.

SO PROUD TO USE MY COMMUNICATION SKILLS

 TO TELL DISABILITY POSITIVE STORIES


I put on my public relations hat and l reached out to friends at WSVN to pitch the story of Rhonel Cinous' virtual flight to the moon.

Reporter Kevin Ozebek delivered a pitch perfect story

I hope everyone -- from space exploration fans to those who champion equity and inclusion for people with disabilities – will share this story.

Rhonel's work with the Artemis1 crew for NASA was made possible by the amazing folks at the United Spinal Association.

Brilliant Chief Marketing Officer Tom Scott led this.

United Spinal's leadership by CEO Vincenzo Piscopo is opening new horizons for people with disabilities.

I’m proud to work with a client as successful at United Spinal.

Here’s the story:
