Happy summer, followers!
Last week, I was pleased to discover that Jacklyn Hancock, of her self-titled blog, nominated EnAbling Change at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection for a ‘Versatile Blogger Award.’
This award works in a chain mail-like format, as each blog nominated is advised to “pay it forward” by doing the following:
•Thank the person that nominated you.
•Include a link to their blog.
•Nominate 10 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award and include a link to their blog.
•Share 7 things about yourself with the person that nominated you.
It has been such an amazing journey developing the Best Practices Guide for accessible programming at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
Sending a big thanks and shout out to Jacklyn Hancock! We appreciate your support.

4. I have a strong passion for music. With humble beginnings in music journalism, my roots of expertise are in heavy metal (and all of its sub-genres), yet my aural taste is vast. I can listen to Dancehall one minute, Puccini the next.
3. I am obsessed with culture, specifically the topic of ethnic foods.When I travel, I am at my best.
2. I do not believe in stigma, exclusion, racism or prejudice.
1. I believe in action through art, celebrating abilities and equality.
