We are beyond excited to be hosting this event with bestselling author and autistic disrupter Tiffany Hammond. Friday, September 1 from 6-8 PM PST, Tiffany will lead an intimate, inclusive and fun workshop on writing and storytelling as tools for self-expression and self-empowerment. No writing experience required, of course! The store will be closed to the public during the workshop and we'll ensure a low-sensory, calm and welcoming environment for all.

Tiffany is the author of A Day Without Words, a beautiful and ground-breaking kids' book that centers the experience of a nonverbal child and his Autism Family as they move through the world. Written by an autistic mother of two autistic sons and the creator behind the popular @Fidgets.and.Fries social media platform (that's Tiffany!) and illustrated by Kate Cosgrove (IG @k8cosgrove), A Day With No Words successfully normalizes communication methods outside of verbal speech and provides representation of neurodiversity and autism in a way that affirms and celebrates.

This workshop is part of a multi-day Celebrate Neurodiversity with Tiffany Hammond event supported by a mini-grant from the Nevada Center for Excellence in Disabilities at the University of Nevada, Reno and these community

partners: Facilitate Joy! LLC, JUSTin HOPE Foundation, Structure3C, The Radical Cat, and the Washoe County Library System.
