We are inviting disabled artists and arts educators to be guests and guest hosts on ABLE Voices. Today's guest host is Kellie Martin.

Kellie Martin is a queer, non-binary, deaf artist. Kellie has worked with arts, culture and theater organizations for over 8 years and loves to collaborate with other disabled artists. Currently working with Deaf Spotlight, Kellie is the art and design program director. Deaf Spotlight supports deaf artists by helping them raise their professional level and help them transition into the creative arts world. Today, Kellie will be interviewing Tabitha Jacques.

Tabitha Jacques is currently the director of placemaking at Gaulladet University and is also deaf. She previously worked as the former director of the Dyer Arts Center at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, an exhibit curator for the Gallaudet University Museum Project and was a special projects coordinator for the National Postal Museum at the Smithsonian Institution. Tabitha's curatorial work continues to help provide opportunities for artists within and outside the deaf community to share their stories and bring their artistic visions to life.

The ABLE Voices podcast is produced and edited by BIAAE Operations Coordinator, Daniel Martinez del Campo. The introduction music was written by Kai Levin and the ending song was written by Sebastian Batista. Kai and Sebastian are students in the Arts Education Programs at the Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education.
