Above & Beyond With U is sponsoring two events hosting Gaelynn Lea in partnership with the Two Harbors and Silver Bay Public Libraries! Musician, Broadway composer, and disability advocate Gaelynn Lea will give an author talk about her memoir, It Wasn’t Meant to be Perfect, a love letter to every kind of body, to music, and to making it work – inviting us to embrace all of life’s experiences with heart and determination. After discussing her book, Gaelynn will perform some of her most beloved songs!
Copies of her book will be available for purchase on-site through Back Forty Books. Gaelynn will be available for book signing!

Our Goals
1. Collaborate
To collaborate with others in order to encourage, train, and create sustainable change to make our physical spaces more inclusive for everyone with all abilities.
2. Be a Conduit
To be a conduit between the non disabled and disability cultures, so many viewpoints are heard, valued, and acted upon creating understanding between the intersections of our communities.
3. Share
To share my story and the stories of others to bring humanity, dignity, and understanding to our choices, protocols, policies, and governing bodies.
4. Promote
To promote the physical and attitudinal accessibility that I find in my daily life so others can also come and enjoy our region with all its beauty, solitude, and grandeur it has to offer.
