You Will Be Welcomed
“…no matter what point of your journey you are, you are welcome to be part of the chronically ill and disability communities. You are welcome just to scroll through posts, you are welcome just to watch videos, you are welcome just to leave likes or follow others. I’m here to tell you that you do not need to be an activist to be part of these communities, and that you will receive love from it, just by being the amazing human being that you are, because just by existing, our energy makes a difference in this world.”

Dynamic Disability
“Just because my disability and needs vary from day to day, or even on the same day, it does not invalidate my disabled experience. We need to keep pushing forward so that others too can affirm their disabled identity.”
