Mr Graeme Innes will share his memories of love and support, of challenges and failures, when he speaks about his autobiography at Kincumber Library.
Mr Innes, blind from birth, said he was blessed because he had a family who refused to view his blindness as a handicap and who instilled in him a belief in his own abilities. After a long and successful career as a lawyer, company director and Human Rights Commissioner, he has written his own story.
Finding A Way shares high memories of love and support, of challenges and failures and of overcoming the discrimination so many people with disabilities face. He writes of the importance of family, the value of courage and the unique experience of a life without one sense but with heightened awareness of the others. Alongside his life story, Mr Innes shares his ideas on advocacy for people with disabilities and outlines what remains to be done to fully include people with disabilities in Australian society. Mr Innes will be speaking at Kincumber Library on Thursday, February 9.
