Crystal Emery can't remember exactly when she began to find the laugh lines in her life. Maybe it was during a hospital stay, when a particularly chatty nurse led to a long and unexpected ordeal with Hamden law enforcement. Or a personal interest in film that led her to too many bad depictions of disabled people. Or a belief that she could change someone’s outlook, one giggle at a time.
