I literally only came on this app to see what Heather had to say. I’d like to think that we both taught each other things, but I think she taught me the most. This is a terrible loss for the disability community and for those that loved her. I hope she is at peace.

Happy disability pride, lovies. I joke about being too tired for this month bc, well, aren’t we all? But I do love sharing this space with people who *get it* Being disabled is a versatile, challenging, occasionally beautiful and often painful experience. Proud to be seen.

Culturally, I identify as #Disabled. This initiative from @PBSAmerMasters is more than a series. It will share our history. We need this because our history is rarely, if ever, taught in schools. These stories will reframe what #Disability means to so many people. #TwoThumbsUp

"The [VIA] Initiative aims to expand @PBSAmerMasters ‘ commitment to stories and creatives within the larger #disability community, launching with a new series, Renegades, alongside a talent incubator and expanded accessibility features for programming distributed by the series."
