Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great time at the MASS 26th Annual Conference!

MASS presented the new Pauline Bosma LGBTQ+ Award to Pauline Bosma for her 20 years of running the Rainbow Group. Pauline is a tireless self-advocate who delivers trainings across America. The Rainbow Group has even made connections overseas! Congrats, Pauline!

Congratulations to all of our award winners, workshop presenters, speakers, and sponsors! Thank you to everyone who attended and made this an amazing year of self-advocacy and friendship!

Celebrate 20 years of the Rainbow Group at Apex Entertainment!

Kamisha's Corner

Hi everyone, how are you? I have some exciting news to share with you! On Thursday October 10th 2024 I was fortunate enough to speak to Tufts University Dental students. The presentation topic was on how to treat patients with disabilities in the dental field.

On this day I was able to present with Dr. Elaine Lin. I have been fortunate to work with Tufts University since 2019 until now, I am so incredibly grateful that they continuously have me in their mind and they still want me to come back in present to their students.

The fact that I get to share my voice with everyone and help make a difference in their lives, I don’t take that for granted whatsoever and I will cherish these moments for the rest of my life.
