I used to think being whole meant being flawless. That to be seen, I had to erase the parts of me that looked "different." But that kind of wholeness is a myth—and it kept me small. Many of us are taught that visibility is earned through perfection. But we're already enough as we are. If no one told you today: you don't have to be flawless to take up space. You just have to be you. And when you show up as you—fully—you give others permission to do the same. #Unhiding #Hiding #Singlehandedly #Disability #Belonging #Leadership #OwnYourDifference #UnhideAndSeek #Inclusion #Humanity ID: A confident woman, Ruth Rathblott, stands in a sleeveless black dress with white and black horizontal stripes.
