Experiencing a #disability and living with one is truly a gift. I won’t talk about the struggles, losses, and grievances that come with my disease in this post but I will say it’s given me invaluable perspective—and it continues to be my greatest teacher in life. Personally, I feel #DisabilityPride isn’t just about my identity; it’s about this amazing community I have the privilege of being a part of, and it makes me so damn proud of each and every single amazing, resilient, human being fighting for their life, equality, and justice. I get to witness everyone channeling every bit of passion and grit towards creating a better world and that is a powerful force to revel in. It’s unspoken. It’s unshakeable. It’s unmatched. We are a family. We take care of each other and I’m proud of us. Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth ♥️.

With love, K.
