 Well, hello. I'm Emily Anderson here with the bridging program, and this is our third group of this year. Riley, would you like to say the name of the group? What's your group name? The Adventurous Four. The Adventurous Four. And today, yes, we look like the Adventurous Five, but the two adventurers present today are Riley and Hannah. The artwork of Will. Another adventurer is behind the group, and our fourth adventurer is Autumn. But we're here, and we're here with Travis, we're here with Julie, and David Fry, zooming in from North Ferrisburg, North Ferrisburg. And so we're here today to have kind of an informal conversation about CCTV and what it is, advocacy, dreams, artwork created at Expressive Arts Burlington with Topaz Weiss. That will be coming up. This is Autumn's piece behind us now, which I think Travis will like because it features lots of wildlife. By doing your artwork, what does it mean to you in your community? What does your artwork bring to the table with you? And what does disability mean to you? Perfect. This is Hannah's powerful, soaring piece. What does your artwork, how does it express your wishes? Hannah, would you like to share something about that? I don't understand. I don't understand. Not good. Not good. Would you like to answer this? Hannah, or should we have Riley do this first? Maybe you don't want to answer right now. That's fine. Okay, and it has moved to Riley's piece, which is very dramatic. Riley, tell us about this. How does this express you or your wishes? My love of wildlife and horses. What's your favorite animal? Don't tell me snakes. I hate them. Is that one snake or is it four? I thought we counted five. Looks like bulls. Yeah, it looks like it. And then, yeah, I see some redwoods. I mean, this looks lovely. The salad, too. That looks tasty. Hungry. So you've got a salad on me. Do you like food? Yes, I do like food very much. Do you like to work with food? Do you like bear with food? No way. I just like it in general. Is there a go-to that you have? Is salad your go-to? Every time you're sitting at home, you're like, I could go for a salad right now. Yes, I was always my go-to. I'm working on salads this month and next month on the cooking show. You need to come on my cooking show. Did you know David has a cooking show? No, I didn't know that. Do you want to do a little plug for your cooking show? Yeah, so I do a cooking show through GMSA. Every single Tuesday from two to three, and we talk about food in general, or you want to watch a different thing. We're doing salads. We did a segment on fire and safety in the kitchen. I don't understand. It's a different show every week, but it's cool. Cool. I don't know. I really like the question. What do you do for self-advocacy? Because here at town meeting TV, we're all about accessibility and providing the people with tools to advocate for themselves, also spread their own messages and have the tools to basically do it themselves. So I basically want to ask y'all, how do you plan to be self-advocates, or what work do you already do in self-advocacy? Riley, do you want to start us off? No. All right, then, Hannah, do you want to start us off? Oh, that was a hard pass. You guys are really advocating over here or not advocating. You're students of advocacy in some senses, but you are also very good advocates because anytime you say, no, I don't think I want to do this right now, you are advocating. I am not ready. That's awesome. And we support that. And we turn it to a seasoned advocate and say, what do you want to advocate for, David? Advocate for a good community that we do make a difference in the community. Advocacy is so important and to be part of the table when having decisions being made for us. I've always said that and I always believe that. If we need to be at the table. David, I love this. I have a couple questions on my hand that you said prior to us getting together, starting the tape rolling. But what do you want to be known for in the community? Is that something you'd like to ask and then turn back to one of us over here? All of us over here, some of us. So what do you want to be known for in the community? For me, I want to be known for being a great advocate. I want to be known for making a difference in someone's life with a disability and a great peer advocate and a great worker. You've got to say to yourself that you do make a difference in this world. And that is so important. So what do you bring to the community? What would you like to be known for in your community? That's a really hard question. Well, sometimes I have some reflection back on Riley. You know, I've seen you be a part of the Bridging Community now for two years. And you used to be, you did it right. From the beginning, you were a little bit shy, but we were doing something where every day there was an opportunity for announcements and you used to say, hey, I have an announcement. I'm going to do it at the end. And so you knew, I have made a connection with Emily. She knows I have an announcement, so she's going to give me a space and I'm going to get to say whatever I want to say. So you would claim your space, even if you're a little shy. You knew once you have that space and we quieted and you have used that announcement opportunity in the most wonderful way to tell us of celebrations, to tell us of difficulties, to tell us of transitions. And that's been so fun. And I feel like, you know, now that I know you won't be at Bridging next year, I'll miss the announcement. I'll think of Riley, who's so good at announcing things. And I'll miss the voting on horse's names. Yes, you also created activities for us to do that brought us together as a group. So you've taken us on some journeys. I, you know, when I was in high school, and I feel that high school is so important, especially for young people with a disability. Because I feel that high school is like, you've got to pick something. I mean, your years of high school are so short. And once you get out of high school, words from the wisdom here, it's a big world out there. And so I hope you can find some kind of way or have a dream what you want to do when you get out of high school. Once you get out of high school, it's a long road ahead of you. And for me, when I was on high school, I took a trade. I took culinary arts. And so I really worked hard on that career. And for me, I was at one place for 15 years. I stayed right there. I went to a five dining, five prime and resort at the Mount Washington hotel. And it was there for seven and a half years. And so, you know, I'm just putting something in your brain, trying to really concentrate what you want to do when you get out because it's such a long road ahead of you. And if you have some kind of plan now, we'll get it. Yeah, that's great. And as you were saying a lot of enthusiastic words, go girl. You are welcome. Yeah, cool, cool. Yeah. Well, I know our bus drivers are going to be coming soon to pick us up. So do we have a wonderful way to wrap up our time together? One thing you're looking forward to this summer. Riley, come on. You can start us off on this one. Hanging out with family and building Legos. Oh, yes. Legos hat? No. Not yet. Oh. Looking forward to this summer. Time with more time with Prince Harry. Yeah. I don't know because you guys got rid of the pool. There's no pool this summer. No pool. Yeah. Have a good day. There we go. Thanks, babe. Thanks, fam. Let's do it. Thanks. Thanks, fam. You got rid of the pool. You can do some advocacy if you want it back. Julie, you have something you're looking forward to? I'm going to visit some of my family in Maryland this summer and I'm looking forward to that. Cool. Let's see. I don't usually do this but I rented a cabin on a lake with my mom and her best friend who I love it when my mom hangs out with her best friend. So we're going to have some lake time. You go, girl. You go. Thank you, Anna. David, what are you up to this summer? I'm going to do plenty of flea markets. I'm going to really dig myself into some antiques and make some cold hard cash. David has an antiques business. Awesome. So cool. What are you going to do? Oh, I don't know. I have this question. I have no plan. I'm going to just get some ice cream. Enjoy the sun. That sounds awesome. My plan for this summer is to enjoy the sun as much as possible. Nice. Well, thank you, everyone. Thank you, viewers. We are always happy to be here and we'll be back in one way or another. Let's sign off with a big wave. Go, girl. You go, girl. You go, girl. Thank you, David.
