Today, the ladies of Totally Social had a great day at the Brighton Library. We met and listened to Anthony Ianni, a motivational speaker who has committed himself and his career to making a difference in the lives of those who may be targeted by bullying. He shared his personal struggles growing up with PDD and learning challenges. The steps he took to always prove naysayers wrong and work hard led him to playing basketball for MSU and graduating with a degree in sociology. Anthony also shared how he disclosed his disability with the university and had resources set up for tutoring and testing accommodations, which he credits for helping him to achieve his degree and ultimate success. Alongside great professors, tutors and classmates, Anthony spoke of the powerful relationships he built on the team and incredibly encouraging his family is of him. We really enjoyed Anthony's story and what he is doing today to empower those on the spectrum. Check out his tour at: http://relentlesstour.com/meet-anthony-ianni/.
Afterword, we met some great parents and networked with other organizations in the tri-county area. Overall, it was a TOTALLY SOCIAL kind of day!
