We've Got This: Stories by Disabled Parents

The first major anthology by parents with disabilities.
​
In We’ve Got This, twenty-five parents who identify as Deaf, disabled or chronically ill discuss the highs and lows of their parenting journeys and reveal that the greatest obstacles lie in other people’s attitudes. The result is a moving, revelatory and empowering anthology.

Contributors include Jacinta Parsons, Kristy Forbes, Graeme Innes, Jessica Smith, Jax Jacki Brown, Nicole Lee, Elly May Barnes, Neangok Chair, Renay Barker-Mulholland, Micheline Lee and Shakira Hussein. 

Edited by Eliza Hull, we invite you to join us for an important, lively and timely discussion with Eliza, Jasper Peach and, chair, Sally Rippin.
