Above and Beyond - Anthony Frisina

Dancing with the Easter Seals Stars is just a little over a week away! Join us on November 15th at 6 PM at Carmen’s Event Centre.

I’m so excited to be in the company of Hamilton's finest! Celebrity dancers such as Natalie Butler, JC Campos, Raviella Kwan, Steve Hinrichs, Natalie Hargreaves, Brian Simo, Dallas Lombardi, and Vince Genuardi will be showcasing their talents.

They will be paired with Hamilton's top professional dancers to create a truly magical night in support of Easter Seals.

A few years ago, I first witnessed the impact of Easter Seals through my friends Andrew Nielsen and Todd Stephens, two gentlemen who formed an unbreakable bond at Easter Seals Camp many, MANY years ago.

I had the honor of interviewing Kevin Collins, CEO of Easter Seals Ontario, on my show Above & Beyond on Cable 14, and I was instantly captivated.

To say I’m honored would be an understatement; I’m filled with chills as I write this.

Last year, at this very event, I met the incredibly talented Chris Briscoe from Briscoe Music. His skills as a DJ and entertainer are unmatched, but even more impressive is the person he is. We brainstormed together, leading to them creatiing of A Chance to Dance Canada earlier this year. This marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship and partnership dedicated to supporting the disability community. I’m thrilled to join him and his partner Dallas Lombardi from Dallas & Co. on , and I invite you to support this extraordinary duo of remarkable individuals. When you support Easter Seals, everyone benefits.

Sharing my story was something I always wanted to do as I grew up, but never envisioned it would quite become a reality.. Prior to the emergence of Above & Beyond on Cable 14 in Hamilton, I started writing down defining moments from my life so I would remember them as time passed. Friends and family encouraged me to publish my biography, and the dream came true.

It's Tuesday and I am back with another tip!

Disabilities such as autism, color blindness, dyslexia, visual impairments, and others lead to diverse experiences with content.

Effective communication relies on your capacity to convey information that can be understood by a broad audience.

This highlights the importance of utilizing a design tool that emphasizes accessibility.

Ah, Mohawk College, there’s no place like home! Honoured to once again speak to nearly 200 PSW Students at Mohawk College at the Institute of Applied Health Sciences. Speaking to my lived experience, overcoming obstacles and challenges, and sharing my story.
