Our Cleveland International Film Festival partner film, The Ride Ahead, debuted at the film festival yesterday - and it was wonderful! Our VP of Education Kimberly Allen joined community leaders in a panel discussion afterwards discussing the film’s focus on the challenges young adults with disabilities face. As Kim shared, her vision is for all of us who live and work with the disabilities community to use AI – Assumed Intelligence – when interacting with and empowering individuals with disabilities. Remember – you can purchase a streaming ticket to watch the film anytime next week! https://bit.ly/41MqafJ #CIFF49
