Thank you @YAINetwork for the opportunity to chat about #CRPD-compliant #InclusiveEmployment programming today, and the chance to profile one of my favourite projects of last year - our research on #ODA & #InclusiveDevelopment!

📄Report available here: https://t.co/fdPCjKg3bA

[Inclusion International @InclusionIntl]

.@KimberBk: "Inclusion International also learned that only 2% of #ODA funding that includes people with intellectual disabilities is delivered through #OPDs, despite the responsibility to meaningfully include us in programming outlined in Article 4.3 of the #CRPD"

Learned the hard way that my washing machine doesn’t actually spin all of the soap out of my clothes when a torrential downpour activated the leftover soap in my leggings and caused an explosion of suds in the middle of soccer practice

[Kimber Bialik (she/her) @KimberBk]

@HarryRoche11 @InclusionIntl @ailisruth Looking forward to it 🙌

Sometimes being an adult is a bummer, but also I just order a kilo of sour candy to be delivered right to my door so at least there’s that

I can’t believe that with all the hype about Firefly Lane, not a single person warned me that there’s a character named Kimber who gets made fun of for having a childish name

Say what you will about lockdown, but when it ends I’ll miss having breakfast for breakfast, breakfast for lunch, and breakfast for dinner with no one to judge me

The Venn diagram of people who refuse to wear masks for political reasons and people who would try to recruit me to their MLMs is a circle

Great point from @HelenPortal2 of @InclusionEurope at the #Families Taking Action for #Inclusion Virtual Summit: Parents and siblings have different skills, and must all work together - coming from different countries, it is interesting to see how we all have the same challenges

What does real #inclusion mean? From @sdswenson on today's @InclusionIntl #Families Taking Action for Inclusion Virtual Summit👨‍👩‍👧‍👧"You cannot only have inclusive education - outside of school children with intellectual disabilities also need a #community that will surround them"
