Storytellers needed!!!

STORYTELLERS NEEDED!

The Vanderbilt Kennedy Center, The Arc Tennessee, and AbleVoices are in search of volunteer interview subjects for the next issue of Kindred Stories of Disability. The topic of the 2026 issue is "Housing Opportunities and Barriers in Tennessee Communities."

Adults with disabilities continue to face barriers when seeking a place to live in the community. We want to interview adults with disabilities and/or their families to learn more about their housing goals and their experiences seeking and securing (or not securing) community-based housing.

We are seeking interviews with adults with disabilities, parents, and caregivers who will share their stories with legislators and policymakers in Tennessee for educational purposes.

Participation commitment includes:
-- A one-hour conversation with a Vanderbilt student over Zoom, with questions shared in advance -- Interviewees may choose to remain anonymous
-- Optional photo session to give young photographers with disabilities experience using photography for advocacy -- may be anonymous
-- Final review of your story, written by the student
-- Having your story and photos printed and shared with legislators and policymakers during Tennessee Disability Day on the Hill.
