'Love on the Spectrum' star Dani Bowman visits Shreveport
Are you a "Love on the Spectrum" fan? Well, Dani Bowman will be in Shreveport Wednesday, Sept. 9, speaking at the 2026 Leadership Luncheon for the Arc Caddo-Bossier . "In the past years, it (Leadership Luncheon) has been a very private event but with Dani we are opening it up to the public," The Arc Caddo-Bossier Director of Marketing and Communications Casey Jones said. Bowman is an entrepreneur, animator, educator and public speaker with autism who has built a career advancing inclusion, creativity and opportunity for people who are neurodivergent. She was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3 and nonverbal until she was 6. Bowman found animation to be her first language and founded DaniMation — a social enterprise that teaches animation and creates professional pathways for young people and young adults who are neurodiverse. To date, she has taught animation to more than 3,500 students. "We found that Dani's story pairs well with the people we serve and our mission of building unlimited opportunities for people with disabilities," Jones said. Prior to the 2026 Leadership Luncheon the Shreveport Times sat down with Bowman. Check out the Conversation: On Wednesday, Sept. 9, Bowman will be the keynote speaker
