About me: I'm #NYC strong. I am interested in #Disability advocacy & activism. I want NYC to be an #accessible city, from public transit, to accessible buildings. I want all patients to have better access to care, treatment options and access to resources. #Disabled

Between inaccessible subways, unreliable paratransit, and riding the nation's slowest buses, funding #6MinuteService would dramatically increase access to economic and social opportunities for all, especially New Yorkers with disabilities. amny.com/transit/mta-to…

When you call a disabled person “special” or “special needs,” it is not a compliment. It is devaluation and segregation. Disability is not inferiority.

Slavery was probably 1000x sicker than what we think it was.

I HAVE A BLACK THERAPIST AND AN APPOINTMENT ON THE 9TH OF FEBRUARY 😭

HOW ARE THEY RELEASING ONLY AN ANNUAL VACCINE WHEN MRNA EFFICACY IS COMPROMISED AFTER 3 MONTHS?

Social Security is our money and should never be cut. Drop a 💙 if you agree.

I’m so sick of many mental health therapists telling clients like me that their fears about COVID are irrational. This is clearly from a huge lack of understanding and education on ableism and how disabled people navigate the world. Therapists need to do better!

Disabled people are 20-25% of the population. Disability is not a curiosity. When does the staring at and non-consensual photographing of disabled people end?

🤷🏻‍♀️ not allowed to work from home

When you call me “special needs,” that is more of a reflection of your ableism, than my disability.
