Special education program at Okemos schools brings students together "They definitely learn how to be better human beings, I think, by just being accepting of students who are different."

Such powerful words by Micah's sister, Emma, posted 03/01/2020. "Micah Fialka-Feldman once had a special educator say in a sarcastic and condescending way, "So you think you'll go to college...like Brown University?!?!" And here is Micah many years later not at Brown, but a guest panelist talking about his inclusive journey in Intelligent Lives...at Harvard. High expectations. Community. Nurturing dreams."

Way to go Micah!!! So proud that Micah is part of Born Fabulous Podcast, Season 2, and will be in Season 3 too.
