Happy INTERNATIONAL Day Of People With DISABILITY

Today is International Day Of People with Disability which is a day where we celebrate everything that people with a disability bring to our communities and to promote a more inclusive world for all. Today I would like to challenge you all to rethink the way you see disability by seeing the “ability” in the “disability” as even though those of us with a disability have difficulties with some things we can  also be talented, funny, friendly and amazing individuals if only people would see past our disability to get to know us.

Today I would like to ask you all to support talented individuals with a disability in your local community whether that be attending an art show, listening to music by a local artist, purchasing hand made items or just talking to them to show your support and that you see them as an important part of your community. 

Let’s use today not just to celebrate the amazing things that people with a disability bring to the world but also by helping to make our local communities a more inclusive and accessible place. Let’s acknowledge our diverse world and make it accessible to all.
