In commemoration of International Week of the Deaf, join us as we meet Author Sofia Seitchik who will share her experiences writing and publishing her book "The Light of Deaf Women: Inspirational Stories from Visionaries, Artists, Founders and Entrepreneurs." In addition, meet Deaf Marylanders featured in the book who will also share their stories.


"The Light of Deaf Women: Inspirational Stories from Visionaries, Artists, Founders, and Entrepreneurs" is a book aimed to motivate all kinds of people to go after their dreams, channel their inner artist, take that leap to found an organization, or even to start their own business. The book has over 80 stories of Deaf women with diverse identities, backgrounds, and journeys.

Following the program, the author will sell and sign her books. Light refreshments will be available. This program is co-sponsored by the Maryland Deaf Culture Digital Library.
