Learning Through Unlearning
Creating a more accepting, inclusive world through education
We’ve all been guilty of ableism, myself included.
I’m coming out and saying it!
And for most of us, it’s not due to malice in our hearts, but a lack of understanding and insight into the disabled community and what the lives of disabled people are really like.
People with disabilities have been portrayed as helpless humans who got a bad lot in life. I believed it at one point. I struggled to accept my disability and my self because of this negative narrative that was adopted by all of society.
It took years of UNLEARNING for me to finally understand that…
Being disabled doesn’t equal a bad life
I am more than my disability
There is a world of fun, adventure, love, and success waiting for me.
This is the message of equality, of inclusion, and awareness that I want to bring to you and your community.
