=E2=80=9CNational Disability Employment Awareness Month emphasizes the impo=
rtance of creating opportunities for people like me, with disabilities, to =
have jobs, be independent and thrive.=E2=80=9D=C2=A0
Victoria is drumming up change: Championing self-advocacy through music
=C2=A0
Legendary Jamaican musician, Bob Marley, once said, =E2=80=9Cone good thing=
about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain.=E2=80=9D Self-advo=
cate and professional musician Victoria B. has been using music to self-soo=
the for as long as she can remember, and for the last several years, she=E2=
=80=99s been helping others do the same through her own music.
=C2=A0
Victoria was diagnosed with autism at the age of three, and music soon beca=
me a defining part of her life. It offered the Chicago native not only a me=
ans of self-expression but a way to connect with others, which she often fo=
und challenging due to her diagnosis. Her journey with West African drummin=
g began when a high school administrator, recognizing his passion for music=
, gifted her a djembe, a rope tuned goblet drum, as a graduation present.

02424hse]
That moment sparked a deep love for the djembe and inspired her to share th=
e joy it brought to her life with others. Realizing that opportunities for =
people with disabilities to engage in music were limited, Victoria set out =
to make a difference through her work. She began teaching West African drum=
ming to students with disabilities, motivated by a desire to address the la=
ck of inclusive programs.
=C2=A0
=E2=80=9CThe ability to share my gift of music brings joy and peace. To sha=
re my life experiences through music is what makes it special. The great th=
ing about teaching West African drumming is there is no gender, race, creed=
. The sound of the drums brings people together.=E2=80=9D

“National Disability Employment Awareness Month emphasizes the importance of creating opportunities for people like me, with disabilities, to have jobs, be independent and thrive.”
Victoria is drumming up change: Championing self-advocacy through music
Legendary Jamaican musician, Bob Marley, once said, “one good thing about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain.” Self-advocate and professional musician Victoria B. has been using music to self-soothe for as long as she can remember, and for the last several years, she’s been helping others do the same through her own music.
Victoria was diagnosed with autism at the age of three, and music soon became a defining part of her life. It offered the Chicago native not only a means of self-expression but a way to connect with others, which she often found challenging due to her diagnosis. Her journey with West African drumming began when a high school administrator, recognizing his passion for music, gifted her a djembe, a rope tuned goblet drum, as a graduation present.
[[link removed]]
That moment sparked a deep love for the djembe and inspired her to share the joy it brought to her life with others. Realizing that opportunities for people with disabilities to engage in music were limited, Victoria set out to make a difference through her work. She began teaching West African drumming to students with disabilities, motivated by a desire to address the lack of inclusive programs.
“The ability to share my gift of music brings joy and peace. To share my life experiences through music is what makes it special. The great thing about teaching West African drumming is there is no gender, race, creed. The sound of the drums brings people together.”
Are you a job seeker in searching for your employment calling, but don’t know where to start? Autism Speaks has got you covered with our Employment Tool Kit. [[link removed]] It provides tools and tips for planning and preparing for employment, including an overview of career options, resume and interview advice, disclosure and accommodation requests and the legal rights afforded those with disabilities.

Victoria is drumming up change: Championing self-advocacy through music
=C2=A0
Legendary Jamaican musician, Bob Marley, once said, =E2=80=9Cone good thing=
about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain.=E2=80=9D Self-advo=
cate and professional musician Victoria B. has been using music to self-soo=
the for as long as she can remember, and for the last several years, she=E2=
=80=99s been helping others do the same through her own music.
=C2=A0
Victoria was diagnosed with autism at the age of three, and music soon beca=
me a defining part of her life. It offered the Chicago native not only a me=
ans of self-expression but a way to connect with others, which she often fo=
und challenging due to her diagnosis. Her journey with West African drummin=
g began when a high school administrator, recognizing his passion for music=
, gifted her a djembe, a rope tuned goblet drum, as a graduation present.

That moment sparked a deep love for the djembe and inspired her to share th=
e joy it brought to her life with others. Realizing that opportunities for =
people with disabilities to engage in music were limited, Victoria set out =
to make a difference through her work. She began teaching West African drum=
ming to students with disabilities, motivated by a desire to address the la=
ck of inclusive programs.
=C2=A0
=E2=80=9CThe ability to share my gift of music brings joy and peace. To sha=
re my life experiences through music is what makes it special. The great th=
ing about teaching West African drumming is there is no gender, race, creed=
. The sound of the drums brings people together.=E2=80=9D

“National Disability Employment Awareness Month emphasizes the importance of creating opportunities for people like me, with disabilities, to have jobs, be independent and thrive.”
Victoria is drumming up change: Championing self-advocacy through music
Legendary Jamaican musician, Bob Marley, once said, “one good thing about music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain.” Self-advocate and professional musician Victoria B. has been using music to self-soothe for as long as she can remember, and for the last several years, she’s been helping others do the same through her own music.
Victoria was diagnosed with autism at the age of three, and music soon became a defining part of her life. It offered the Chicago native not only a means of self-expression but a way to connect with others, which she often found challenging due to her diagnosis. Her journey with West African drumming began when a high school administrator, recognizing his passion for music, gifted her a djembe, a rope tuned goblet drum, as a graduation present.
[[link removed]]
That moment sparked a deep love for the djembe and inspired her to share the joy it brought to her life with others. Realizing that opportunities for people with disabilities to engage in music were limited, Victoria set out to make a difference through her work. She began teaching West African drumming to students with disabilities, motivated by a desire to address the lack of inclusive programs.
“The ability to share my gift of music brings joy and peace. To share my life experiences through music is what makes it special. The great thing about teaching West African drumming is there is no gender, race, creed. The sound of the drums brings people together.”
Are you a job seeker in searching for your employment calling, but don’t know where to start? Autism Speaks has got you covered with our Employment Tool Kit. [[link removed]] It provides tools and tips for planning and preparing for employment, including an overview of career options, resume and interview advice, disclosure and accommodation requests and the legal rights afforded those with disabilities.
