Join us for Writing Our Way into Acceptance, a reading and discussion with Jeffery Dale Lofton and Greg Marshall. Jeffrey Dale Lofton is the author of Red Clay Suzie, a fictionalized memoir of growing up gay and disabled in rural Georgia. Greg Marshall is the author of Leg: The Story of a Limb and the Boy who Grew from It, a memoir of family, disability, and coming of age in two closets as both a gay man and someone living with cerebral palsy. Both writers will read from their work, followed by a wide-ranging conversation on homophobia, ableism, and how their experiences have shaped how they grew up, who they have become, and the stories they now share with the world. For anyone who has experienced the particular isolation of growing up different, Greg and Jeffrey offer a compelling portrait of how writing about our lives can lead to acceptance, healing, and even joy.
