Like so many other mothers of a child with a disability, I've become a fierce advocate for change. My journey into the disability movement is driven by love, determination, and a vision for a more inclusive equitable world. Community organizing is grounded in a deep belief in the power of group action to bring about meaningful and lasting change. I have learned to never underestimate the power of families to bring about these big changes one small step at a time.
This is hard and isolating work. Having a support system of like minded families to reflect on what does an inclusive life look like, to share experience and learning, to lighten the work, to question historical practices, and to generate new exciting ideas is essential to the sustainable of the work each individual family is doing.
