Today I have an Op-Ed in the New York Times about the rewriting the familiar disability script and changing the world:
Think about all those stories that are missing. Stories that we need to overwrite the corrosive narrative of ableism. Without those stories, the implicit bias will continue and the cycle will renew itself endlessly. We changed queer literature, and the world, with story. We can do it again. We can write those stories in our own voices, our strong, beautiful, ordinary, disabled voices.
Good on you Nicola.
THANK YOU!!! This is so needed. I’m raising my voice. I wish so many others would too. Thank you for making the invite and argument to do so, so clear!
My pleasure!
