@935Curr Stella Jane Young, I retweet her (MHSRIP) she truly was a force to reckon with and hope that many individuals with special needs and abilities follow in her steps. We can all learn to coexist in the world in-spite of our differences, cultures, and backgrounds.

@LizoonNahar @935Curr @cmachado3 It probably did break women to speak out and be heard. So it’s up to us the so called ‘brave’ to try and break those barriers for other women to be proud of themselves and see themselves as worthy.

@935Curr I had the privilege of being a diversity peer educator and ableism was one topic I presented on. And one of the questions I asked was how do others experience ableism? And I use Stella Jane Young’s YouTube video to better explain ableism

@cmachado3 @935Curr Personally I feel we still have low self esteem if it’s the correct word to use. Because of fear to change and going against the norms that at times seem like they have been set on stone.

@samanthavasy @935Curr And that the ‘West’ is civilized as compared to the ‘East’ which is considered uncivilized

[koga chilume @KogaChilume]

@935Curr Personally, I feel I don’t have privileges in any given form because I constantly have to explain to people. I have learned to not be uncomfortable when assumptions about me, my culture,etc are posed towards me and take that time to educate those people.

[koga chilume @KogaChilume]

@cmachado3 @JT_hezlop @935Curr I totally agree. I have to constantly explain to people why I speak ‘good English’ as they say. Am I not supposed to? Is it only meant for certain people?

@cmachado3 @samanthavasy @935Curr @kimmykimikimme It really is sad. We should not use a one size fits all strategy to teach our students as they come from different backgrounds and socio-economic status

@kimmykimikimme @samanthavasy @935Curr Advocacy for me is speaking up and supporting the voiceless. By giving people the same opportunities that others have regardless of gender, race, or disability.

[koga chilume @KogaChilume]

@samanthavasy @935Curr I totally agree! Working with special needs students has shown me the potential that they have. By advocating for them and giving them the opportunities to succeed is the greatest reward.
