did u know we have 2 types of Ableisms? overt ableism, which involves explicit discriminatory actions, & covert ableism, which is more subtle & may include unconscious biases or structural barriers? @Shibalirajacque @jackielidubwi @LabourSPKE @lftwworldwide @DTSK21 @AusHCKenya

as DSM we believe The sooner accessibility becomes a priority the sooner we build a world where everyone regardless of ability can fully participate & thrive. In the end accessibility isn’t just about compliance—it’s about creating a fairer, more equitable society @jackielidubwi

as DSM we believe The "inspirational" narrative often reduces PWDS to 1-dimensional caricatures. It overlooks our agency, complexity, & individuality, casting us solely as objects of admiration rather than as active participants in our own lives @jackielidubwi @Shibalirajacque

as disability sausage we believe Inclusion is successful when persons with disabilities are not only present but meaningfully participate and lead in all facets of social and economic life" @jackielidubwi @mwnyambura @eric_ngondi @G3ict @IccasaA @Kwwdnetwork @LftWKE

[@Disability Sausage Media DSM @Disabilitysaus1]

as disability sausage media we believe The absence of inclusion strategies in global economic development frameworks perpetuates cycles of poverty and inequality for PWDS . @Shibalirajacque @jackielidubwi @karen_muriuki @IccasaA @Kwwdnetwork @capmhkenya

as DSM we believe Disabilities are not “caught” or “spread” like a virus. They’re conditions of being, affected by genetics, environment, or life experiences @jackielidubwi @LftWKE @JackyWaiharo @Shibalirajacque @IccasaA @G3ict @eric_ngondi @DrAlfredMutua @Harunassan @Ncpwds

as DSM we believe Disabilities are not flaws.
It’s just one aspect of a person’s identity, like personality or culture. Calling it a flaw implies that there’s a “perfect” way to be human @CBM_Global @jackielidubwi @DTSK21 @eric_ngondi @lftwworldwide @SalRob310 @Shibalirajacque

as DSM we believe Disabilities are not scary.
There’s nothing inherently frightening about living differently. What’s scary is a society that resists change, clings to stereotypes, and often refuses to create inclusive spaces @CBM_Global @jackielidubwi @lftwworldwide @DTSK21

[@Disability Sausage Media DSM @Disabilitysaus1]

as DSM we believe Accessibility keeps evolving.
Don’t fall in to the trap of thinking you know it all.
The needs of persons with disabilities vary and so are the tools and solutions available to meet those needs
Stay curious stay humble @jackielidubwi @CBM_Global

Edward Roberts once said, "We r not disabled by our disabilities; we r disabled by barriers we face" Recognizing inability allows us to focus on removing those barriers. It is only through honest conversations, rooted in realities of disability that we can achieve true inclusion

[@Disability Sausage Media DSM @Disabilitysaus1]

It’s strange, isn’t it?

persons with disabilities are seen as both “inspiring” and “pitiful” by the same society.
Two extreme reactions, yet both rooted in the same issue: ableism.

as a disability sausage eater we believe "Disability inclusion should not be a special interest issue, but an essential aspect of all public policies that promote equity, justice, and dignity." @andyspeaks4 @jackielidubwi @CBM_Global @LftWKE @DTSK21

[@Disability Sausage Media DSM @Disabilitysaus1]

as a disability sausage eater we believe 2. "Rights are not merely theoretical; they are to be experienced, exercised, and protected. Policy must create the spaces where these rights are truly accessible." @jackielidubwi @David_CBMGlobal @sighgnsTvKenya

[@Disability Sausage Media DSM @Disabilitysaus1]

True inclusion is never a solo act—it’s a chorus. It’s the result of people coming together, challenging norms, & refusing to let inequality persist. 4 allies who stand beside us in this fight 4 accessibility, dignity & respect I want to say this: we see u, we value u & we need u

If everyone was a little disabled,
architecture would tell a different story—
one of belonging, not exclusion.
The stairs wouldn’t vanish,
but alongside them, ramps would rise,
elevators would open,
and every threshold would whisper,
“You are welcome here.”

[@Disability Sausage Media DSM @Disabilitysaus1]

If everyone was a little disabled,
we’d learn to slow down,
to notice the world from different angles.
We’d stop measuring people by speed or volume,
and start valuing presence, intention, care.
Where deadlines flexed,
not as a weakness,
but as a strength am a disa-sausage eater
