As we celebrate Kamala Harris, we thank the Black women who made this possible. Today, and forever, we thank voting rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer. “When I liberate myself, I liberate others. If you don’t speak out ain’t nobody going to speak out for you.”

If disability navigation was taught, accessibility would be simple, and the labour would not always fall on the disabled. Overall, until disabled, queer, BIPOC representation mirrors how the world as it is, true inclusivity is yet to be reached." -@aaronphilipxo
Mama Cāx ❤️ “I went from teaching girls to show off their prosthetic devices because there’s power and pride in being different. But then started receiving messages from young people hoping to ‘one day have a cool leg’ like mine..."

Words by @Keah_Maria image description: a quote that says “Disabled, in the eyes of many is a dirty word because it shines a light on the differences of our world, and when we acknowledge difference, we must acknowledge privilege - and that opens a whole other can of worms.”
Words by Vilissa Thompson @VilissaThompson Image description: A quote that says “Most people have a lot of inaccurate perceptions about disability that have to be unlearned.”
...This forced me to step out of my privilege... most amputees around the world cannot afford these devices, so this is a press release for a new message: come as you are, you can slay with or without a prosthesis.”
"I feel extremely grateful to have gotten visibility for my work. However, I have yet to feel included in many spaces. Currently, able-bodied spaces feel the most exhausting. I find myself having to advocate for my disability with each person I meet.
