Touch (Meet) the MC's

 

Roberto Cabrera & Yashaira Romilus

 

Roberto is a second generation DeafBlind Queer Dominican. 

Yash is a DeafBlind Queer Latina with ethnic roots from Puerto Rico.

Together they bring tons of charisma, warmth, energy, experience as DeafBlind advocates, and nationally acclaimed Protactile trainers! Because ADWAS recognizes the oppression the DeafBlind community has endured and continues to occur, particularly BIPOC DeafBlind folks, we wanted to collaborate with DeafBlind leaders who are advocates for the community for this year’s gala.    

This year’s Gala will be different than ADWAS’ previous years. We are designing every aspect of the Gala to fit the accessibility needs of the DeafBlind community.  Our MC’s have been graciously consulting ADWAS to create a Protactile (PT) friendly event.
