I was an athlete all my life thanks to Title IX. I now lead an active life while living with a mobility disability. A long-time international advocate for sport for people with disabilities and also sport and human rights, I had the great opportunity to co-author Article 30.5 of the United Nations Convention on the…

I am joining this March because I am a political science major and hope to advocate for disability rights in my future. I also happen to be a young woman with Cerebral Palsy who expects respect and equality. I don’t want a revolution, I want a revelation! Work, work!

I am disgusted by Donald trump.

Because disabilities are not always visible. Because right now I am a high functioning, gainfully employed depressive actively managing my mental illness who has health insurance.
