The disabled community is a diverse group of people that do not look the same, love the same, vote the same, talk the same or even believe the same. BUT it’s because of all the differences that we are able to come together and see the humanity in each other, and in that humanity, we find the greatness and ABILITY that lives inside each and every person. I think that's why I am so passionate about disability acceptance, advocacy, and it's how my small business - disXABILITY was founded. All of the obstacles, challenges, and adversity that I faced and fought led me to my purpose, and through community, I learned that I was not alone.
Today I tell my story to strangers around the world to let them know they are not alone. I struggled with the same emotions you may be processing and experiencing. This community understands and can relate to how you might feel because we all have so much more in common than we will ever know. Whether it's a physical disability, an invisible or mental disability, it doesn’t matter.
Through community we are able to share stories of the adversity we are facing, the new diagnosis our child just received, the emotions of grief, pain, joy, and relief. Through community, we share our life experiences, and perspectives with an open, raw, and vulnerable approach.
Community and fellowship bring us a sense of comfort and hope for the future, something this world needs more than ever right now. We are all human and we all experience and process emotions, and we all want to know that we aren't alone in this journey that no one gave us a manual for.
