The letter was a state level winner of the Letters About Literature contest sponsored by the Library of Congress. It was written to author Beth Vrabel about her book, Pack of Dorks
While Marcus and I were in NYC, we joined Dan via technology, and chatted about WDSD, Black Day, The Parent’s Guide to Down Syndrome, and also the #NotSpecialNeeds campaign.
Pop it in while you’re running, walking, cleaning the house, or whatever it is you do while listening to a podcast. 🙂
In preparation, watch the video of the Coordown campaign, that focusses on the #NotSpecialNeeds concept – here it is, also.
So we chatted a bit about this
For real.
If you want #BlackDayBook and Grown Ups and Downs updates, not too often – I promise, Join the Club here!
Here’s what we said:
(Marcus parts in bold)
Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m Marcus Wright Sikora.
I wrote a book called Black Day: The Monster Rock Band.
I’m a storyteller, an actor, and a singer.
I’m glad to be here with people from around the world
talking about Down Syndrome.
New York City is my favorite.
This is my mom, Mardra. She’s a writer, too.
Guys guy GUYS! I don’t think I ever showed you this interview.
A great podcast and video interview with two moms, plus Marcus (and me too.)
One mom I’ve known virtually Ellen Stumbo. She has a beautiful blog, I’ve been lucky to guest on now and then. And now she and and Erin, another mom, have a podcast and video blog. OK – SO here’s a link to the blog and podcast here: When Our Kids With Disabilities Grow Up [Podcast]
and here’s the video of the interview.
