Local Voices: In-Person & Online

Elsa: A white woman with short hair and an occluded cataract on her right eye holding a cane and wearing purple hearing aids, leather vest, pearl necklace, and striped button-down top, looking with raised eyebrows at camera. Book Jacket: The text "Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life" by Alice Wong is superimposed on a yellow background, with a drawing of a tiger and some flowers in red to the right of the text. Leah: A 40ish mixed race Sri Lankan, Irish and Romani nonbinary femme with curly brown silver and purple hair, lying on a couch looking at the viewer horizontally. They have rose gold aviator frames, thick eyebrows, red lipstick and sand colored skin, and are looking at the viewer with a kind of tired but hopefully crip wonder. They wear a blue denim vest with a pin that says Neurodivergent Universe above a pink and blue image of a ringed planet, and a black tank top with yellow lettering that read Talk To Plants, Not Cops is barely visible. They have a tattoo of the words "We begin by listening" in magenta cursive script on their left arm.
