This is all I need today!
When I noticed that there was no online attendance option for Chloé Hayden's tour, I reached out. Chloe's Mum (Sarah), was kind enough to look into this for me.
Although it was not achievable this time, Sarah advised that they will now be offering online attendance as an option for events going forward.

I love it when event organisers; who had overlooked live-streams as a mechanism to inclusion, act on feedback and commit to removing such barriers to participation. Even better when they actively acknowledge your contribution and encourage you to continue the fight for better disability inclusion.

Will you now make the same commitment?

For people who think getting help is easy, think again. I’ve been looking for a with funding for my area since last September. Here’s a sample of the emails I get. It’s a long email so I didn’t include everything, but she goes on to say I should try contacting her in October. They MIGHT have capacity then.

Yahoo News - People with disabilities have built a community on TikTok. They fear its loss if the app is banned.

Check out the interview I did with Yahoo News on how the Tiktok ban will affect disabled tiktokers like myself.

On Thursday I had the great pleasure of speaking on a panel at St Cloud State University on disability justice, & honoring the life & work of Judith Heumann, "the mother of the ADA."

It was such a joy getting to speak alongside other disabled folx about about disability rights, the work Judy did, how much it has changed the world, & how much work we still have to do.

Black is the colour beyond all colours.
Black is the night,
The void of my heart,
The depths of my soul.

Red is the colour of love, anger, passion, and the colour of life's blood.

Red & black are the colours that run through us all.
We just have to choose their meaning.

Judy Heumann was the keynote speaker at our Andries Hudde School in 8th grade, which was held in the auditorium at Brooklyn College.

That message she shared with us, for me, was all about never giving up and never allowing people to tell us we can’t do something. Seeing her speak was truly beyond words, and it will forever be ingrained in my memory.
