About Me

My mom and I

Growing up, my family lived with my aunt who owned a group home for adults with disabilities. My mother was also an employee for years. As a Christian household, I was raised with the knowledge of God and actively going to Church, but always had questions. This was also the journey for my Aunt as she was aware of the differences in how the Bible and society define disability. With growth and maturity she learned even more about this community by being around them and with time and familiarity she became an advocate in Church.

Me :)

Every Sunday we would go to Church alongside the whole group home residents and I can truthfully say as a child I never saw a difference in treatment between abled and disabled people in my church community. Without even realizing we were being active participants in disability theology. Her purpose was being fulfilled through her clients as she was speaking God’s message with action.
