Happy Down Syndrome Day! A few years back Meaningful Movies Project Manager, Melinda Raebyne, had the honor to create a PSA for the Down Syndrome Community, where she met Holly, Brad and Devon. Three of the most beautiful, caring and inspirational young adults who opened her eyes to the possibility of "what if". The link to the full version is available in the YouTube description. THIS IS ME tells the story of individuals with Down Syndrome who are currently employed. Showing the importance of inclusion and acceptance from childhood which leads to more independent adulthood. “This Is Me” follows a day in the lives of Devon Adelman, Brad Morse and Holly Murahashi who are remarkable young adults breaking the barriers of society’s stigma about those with down syndrome. Their stories will move you, inspire you and remind you that the only limitations are the ones you believe.May your world be full of diverse beautiful people, who enrich your life. #downsyndromeawareness #inclusion #beavoicesuiproductions #melindaraebynefilms #downsyndromeawarenessmonth #downsyndromecommunity #limitless #PerfectAsIAm #meaningfulmoviesproject #raisingawareness #possibilities ...
