Jessica & Royce
All In for Inclusion

Royce recently joined the Keshet choir, but she was hesitant about the experience and chose to sit back away from the action. Jessica noticed Royce, went up to her right away and waved her over to join the group. Jessica didn’t want anyone to be left out and, using her own methods of communication, welcomed Royce to choir and made sure she was included.
