📚 Author Talk at Camas Books & Infoshop

Join Phil Nealy as he discusses his new autobiography, I Won't Stand for This! Embracing My Disability to Empower Others.

After sustaining a spinal cord injury that resulted in quadriplegia, Phil shares his journey of rehabilitation, self-advocacy, and building a full and independent life. Rather than focusing on disability as tragedy or inspiration, he challenges common assumptions about ability, productivity, and worth while highlighting resilience, dignity, community, and the importance of removing barriers.

Written with Kyle Hawke, this thoughtful memoir offers an honest perspective grounded in lived experience.

🕖 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
📍 Camas Books & Infoshop
