Join us for an inspiring and FREE community event featuring Russell Lehmann—award-winning motivational speaker, poet, author, and internationally recognized activist. Known for his raw and transparent storytelling, Russell raises awareness about autism, mental health, and disabilities. In "Fish out of Water," Russell shares his deeply personal journey of being diagnosed with autism at age 12 following a five-week stay in a lockdown psychiatric ward due to severe OCD and phobias. After 15 years of battling isolation and misunderstanding, Russell transformed his experiences into a powerful message of hope and change. This eye-opening presentation will challenge stereotypes, explore societal barriers faced by individuals with disabilities and mental health challenges, and offer actionable insights to foster inclusion and innovation. You'll leave inspired to embrace diversity and empowered to create a more equitable world.
