Today, President Biden announced his intent to appoint five new members to the National Council on Disability. https://t.co/SHvRqO9P6q

Really thought the members town hall 3 yrs ago with @LPANational pleading for a re-evaluation of their stance regarding taking donations from BioPharm Co's trying to "solve" achondroplasia would be a wake up call to push for LP pride rather than bow down to ableism...guess not

We are so excited to announce that ADA 25 Advancing Leadership is now Disability Lead! New name. New logo. New website. Same mission. #PowerInfluenceChange #WeAreDisLead

This week on the M JAYSON GRAHAM SHOW, I interviewed @RisaJaz and @avperezgarcia from @ADA25AdvLeaders about the important work of creating coalitions to build a richer, more inclusive tomorrow. Listen to it here: https://t.co/FcbF4nI7D2

@DisabilityChall @EasterSealsCa Check out @SofiyaCheyenne’s film https://t.co/jb17SiMQhL

[Risa Jaz @RisaJaz]

It’s a great satire on reality TV and how the world makes us feel sometimes

[Sofiya Cheyenne @SofiyaCheyenne]

#InspiringWomen is a 5 min mockumentary short that tackles the new phenomenon that is the "Little Women" franchise. Are these women really inspiring? Or are they playing into the new freak show that is Reality TV?

[Sofiya Cheyenne @SofiyaCheyenne]

A record number of incredible films have been submitted to the 2021 @disabilityfilmchall @EastersealSoCal : Home Edition 2.0 Now comes the most important part – watch and share the films to help change the way the world defines and views disability! https://t.co/ptYoyRBLSB

[Disability Lead @WeAreDisLead]

The Disability Inclusion Fund (a donor collaborative housed at @BorealisPhil) has introduced their grantmaking advocate committee, & there are some VERY familiar names…

A round of applause for @ADA25AdvLeaders Members @DrAngelLove & @RisaJaz! 👏👏👏

.@GoyaFoods has been a staple of so many Latino households for generations.

Now their CEO, Bob Unanue, is praising a president who villainizes and maliciously attacks Latinos for political gain. Americans should think twice before buying their products. #Goyaway

My wildest dream is for me to work myself out of a job - where we don’t need diversity officers to stake a claim in diversity. Diversity should be done in every area of the company. - Corliss V. Garner 👏👏👏 #BeyondQuotas @cfw_ywgc @ChiFdn4Women

[Disability Lead @WeAreDisLead]

It takes all of us. Everyone needs to be involved to ensure disability rights. Let’s do it. 30 years! - @RisaJaz #NightOfIdeas

[Disability Lead @WeAreDisLead]

So often the conversation around disability rights is about access, and it should be around these inalienable rights, but it’s also about what makes us human. - @eblum1 #NightOfIdeas

[Disability Lead @WeAreDisLead]

Thank you @FieldMuseum for hosting this important conversation! You may notice we have live captioning during our presentation. This is to provide everyone with equal communication access. Because we know access = equity. #NightOfIdeas

[Disability Lead @WeAreDisLead]

We’re currently accepting applications for our 2019 Leadership Institute, a great opportunity for emerging leaders with disabilities (visible, invisible, acquired) who are ready to lead with power and influence. Apply today at https://t.co/KP2brcd8Xe. #AdvancingLeaders

@SouthwestAir Just sent my information. Thank you for the reply and for documenting this experience. Before takeoff the gate agent apologized over the intercom to all passengers for how poorly it was handled

[Risa Jaz @RisaJaz]

@SouthwestAir and it also requires organization. You can’t just open the flood gates. We need time to get onboard. And your agent doesn’t just get to come up to me and demand - “how much does that weigh.” #RespectWhileFlying
