Meet Jessie, who is an almost 25 year old dancer! She is also part of VATTA The Voices at the Table Advocacy Committee (VATTA) is composed of a group of adults with Down syndrome who believe that through their diversity and advocacy efforts, equitable opportunities will be available for all Canadians.

Here's a piece from Jessie's contribution to the blog:
The first and most important step is to find out what your passion is. Your passion does not have to be in the arts, it can be anything! My advice to all of you is if you have a passion and you want to pursue that passion, go for it. Find other people who share your passion; believe in yourself and share your talents and passions, and together you can all create wonderful opportunities to change the world. Making your passion into a job can take a very long time. But don’t give up! It will work if you find the right people, the ones who share your passion.
