Members of the LightHouse community, their friends and families, and members of the wider community are invited to receive either their first or second COVID-19 vaccine booster shot on Tuesdays, June 7 and June 14. Each vaccination clinic runs between 1:00 and 4:30 pm at our 1155 Market Street San Francisco headquarters.

7:00 pm: Book Discussion: Fairest: A Memoir (online)


Jun 7

In celebration of Pride Month, join The LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the Talking Books and Braille Center for a 3-week book study that examines one of the most deeply introspective memoirs on the market (Teen Vogue, 2020). Meredith Talusan’s Fairest: A Memoir is a raw, unfiltered look at race, class, sexuality, gender, and so much more. Talusan navigates through the complexities of growing up as a young kid with albinism in a rural community in the Philippines, who grew up to become a Harvard graduate, an artist and activist questioning the boundaries of gender, and discovering her place within the gay community.

Send your RSVP to Sabrina at sbolus@lighthouse-sf.org. Please RSVP to register and receive the event link and study guide.

Reader Discretion advised: This book contains scenes of a sexual nature and strong language.
