I had the privilege of spending the day with Kim Gibson, DSW, LMSW, Executive Director of disABILITY LINK. Our journey started at Stone Mountain Park, followed by a powerful visit to the Martin Luther King Jr. Center. We enjoyed a delicious Italian lunch, took in the views at SkyView Atlanta, explored downtown Decatur, and even joined the vibrant Pan African Festival. We ended the evening back at Stone Mountain Park laser show - the perfect close to a day filled with history, culture, and inspiration. Grateful for this wonderful experience and the opportunity to see so much in just one day! #LeadershipJourney #CulturalExperience #MandelaWashingtonFellowship #StoneMountain #MLKCenter #Decatur #PanAfricanFestival #InclusiveLeadership #Gratitude

I help organisations unlearn ableism with training, consulting, and standout Disability graphics. and I’m a Registered Blind AuDHD Rhino to boot. 🦏
Yes, I’m Disabled... But I’m not broken. I’m not less than. I’m not a burden. I’m not invisible. I’m not fragile. I’m not asking too much. I’m not the problem. I’m not less worthy. I’m not difficult. I’m not a side note. I’m not a checkbox. I am so much more than your ableist assumptions, stereotypes, pity, or inspiration porn. Image Description: A Disabled by Society graphic titled, “Yes, I’m Disabled. But here’s what I’m not…”. The graphic is set on an off black background. Below the title twelve illustrated stick people representing visible and non-visible Disabilities, each with a statement underneath. They read: I’m not broken, I’m not impaired, I’m not less than, I’m not a burden, I’m not invisible, I’m not fragile, I’m not asking too much, I’m not the problem, I’m not less worthy, I’m not difficult, I’m not a side note, I’m not a checkbox. #DisabledBySociety #Ableism #WednesdayWisdom #Ableism

August is Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS) Awareness Month! 💙 This is a powerful reminder that some of the most difficult battles are fought with incredible strength and resilience. SJS is a serious, life-threatening condition, and raising awareness is crucial. Let's stand together to educate others, support survivors, and honor those we've lost. Your voice and your story matter.💙🧡 #SJSAwareness #StevensJohnsonSyndrome #SJSWarrior #RareDiseaseAwareness #EducateBeforeYouMedicate

Accommodations aren't special treatment — they're how we ensure equal access. Whether it's a ramp, captioning, or flexible schedules, accommodations help people with disabilities fully participate in work, school, and community life. Inclusion starts with access. #DisabilityRights #AccessibilityMatters
