✨ Meet Ben Akuoko ✨ A proud member of the danceScape student community — inspiring change on and off the dance floor! 💃🕺 At danceScape, we’re proud to celebrate students who inspire beyond the dance floor — and Ben Akuoko is one of those changemakers. 💃🕺 Born with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a genetic degenerative eye condition that affects his vision, Ben has never let his low vision define him. Through his journey with danceScape, Ben found not only confidence and movement — but a community that uplifts and empowers. ❤️ After high school, unsure of which path to take, a simple Colour Personality Test helped him discover his true calling: helping others feel seen and understood. Now, Ben is on a mission to become a social worker, advocating for representation within both the disabled and African American communities. 🎙️ Hear Ben's powerful story and learn how he’s using his voice to spark change through his inspiring podcast: The Lens: Living Diverse 🔗 www.brightsidescope.com 🔊 www.soundcloud.com/user-682828220/sets/the-lens-living-diverse 📘 facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556694116665&sk=about 📲 @brightside_scope This episode of the Sit Down Stand Out Show is proudly sponsored by Community Living Trent Highlands and Job Quest @communitylivingtrenthighlands. 🛍️ Want to support the show?

🔥😂 What Firefighters Will Do to Avoid Dancing… This has to be one of the funniest moments from Canada Day “On the Farm” @MordensOrganicFarmStore! Robert from @danceScape was interviewing the incredible team from the Hamilton Fire Department (Greensville) — Eric, Leah, and Isiah — about their inspiring work as firefighters. Everything was going great... 💬 Fire safety tips for families ✅ 💬 Cool facts about Rescue 25 ✅ 💬 Love for serving the community ✅ Then Robert threw in the twist: 🕺 “So… are you ready for a Dance challenge?” 🚨 Cue the sirens! Suddenly, an emergency call came in and the team jumped into their firetruck and sped off in seconds. Talk about perfect timing! 😆 It was the great firefighter dance escape! 😂 🎉 Thanks to Morden’s Organic Farm Store for hosting such a fun, family-friendly Canada Day event — featuring local vendors, farm animals, and healthy, organic food. 💃 Shoutout to danceScape student members for participating in the line dancing and sharing their energy, smiles, and confidence with the community!
