Very cool to see model & activist @LaurenWasser in the @saks Spring 2021 Fashion Book—encouraging others to “see strength in themselves that they didn’t see before.” 💪👏
Was asked to audition to be an amputee last week... responded that they should just audition actual amputees for the role. Was told that because she loses limbs over time they need a non amputee, but surely if you can make me look like an amputee=you can give someone prosthetics?
Had a call with 2 representatives from @warnerbros
Social Responsibility & Sustainability team. We will be working with them going forward to make sure those with limb differences (whether the representation is intentional or not) are more positively and accurately portrayed.
Today is the day! We’ll be holding our virtual Advocacy Info Session at 3:30pm ET.
We’ll be giving you the tools necessary to flourish as an advocate for yourself & or community on the issues that matter most.

Running legs engaged 🙈💨. Aaahhhh I can’t believe this is happening. I’m completely obsessed with these running blades from @OttobockUS_CA 🤩. I’ll never be able to find the words to express my gratitude to @ScottSabolichPR and to #WiggleYourToes foundation 😭🙏😭🙏. THANK U!!!
It’s about leaving a mark so that athletes like me or Kenasyn can know that no matter the obstacles you face or the fear(s) you have…above all else, you have a purpose. You can’t stop our purpose through sport. Because you can’t stop us. #YouCantStopUs@Nike
Paratriathlete @MStockwell01 started a program called “Snacks for Superheroes” and has been making deliveries once a week to the staff at her local hospital, who are on the front lines of the fight against the coronavirus.
Surely @United, you can do better—we expect more, and your customers deserve more—especially from an airline that touted their role as “superheroes” helping Team USA travel to the 2018 #Paralympic Winter Games. #Accessibility@maysoonzayid
So @flyLAXairport has moved rideshares and all taxis to a spot that is inaccessible to wheelchair @united threatened to call and ambulance cause I started crying and the shuttle bus refused to let me sit in #accessible seat cause "that is for luggage."
Why is it so difficult for individuals to have access to prosthetic limbs? Where is the outrage? How do we come together to raise awareness and make this a priority? newsweek.com/army-veteran-ha…
