268. First Responders and Teacher of Patience: A Lesson in Understanding

We’re thrilled to have Carmen Vincent and Tom and Tina Felter join us to discuss their powerful Emmy award-winning documentary, Teacher of Patience. This film showcases the incredible journey of the Felter family and their daughter, Emily (who makes a surprise appearance!), who has Down syndrome. Tom shares the story behind developing The Emily Talk, a crucial presentation aimed at educating first responders about disabilities to prevent unnecessary tragedies, and how it led to meeting Carmen. We’re chatting about the process of making a documentary, their hopes for the film, and how it can impact the broader conversation of disability and inclusion. Stay tuned as we explore how this inspiring story is making an impact.
