Letter from the Founder

I am disabled. I am perfect. I am whatever the fuck I want to be.

Crazy it's taken me 36 years to finally say that…powerfully. And still, I'm learning every single day what being disabled means. From the amazing, rad AF disabled people I follow, look up to, learn from everyday. To educating myself on what Ableism is and how it's literally described so much of what I've been through in my life.

But I'm not done. I can't be done. So much is still for me to learn. And so much is still to be done for not only myself but for the disabled community that is here and that is continuing to make a impact.

I'm going to do my part by sharing that journey. How we feel. What we care about. Who we truly are. This foundation is that and more.

For most of my life, I innocently inherited stories of my disability that weren't mine. Stories that caused me to live in a world that I constantly felt unworthy. This foundation shows what is possible for disabled individuals when you trust your feelings and write your own story. It's a foundation that redefines what it means to have a disability and makes it powerful.
