This blog addresses the challenges faced when embracing individual identity. I share my own experiences, news articles, scientific findings, and blurbs from social media about overcoming ableism. Through the voicing of vulnerability, I hope to combat prejudice and stigma and encourage compassion, equity, and inclusion.

Promoting Athletes
Two weeks after running my second half marathon, I've found myself recently absorbed in the media coverage of blind and visually impaired runners in the upcoming Boston marathon. I wanted to share this link because it provides a thoughtful depiction of these athletes. Unlike the countless stories characterized as "inspiration porn," this piece commemorates these athletes' strength and tenacity, which is deserved by any athlete of this caliber. I take this opportunity to promote these powerful runners, as well as this depiction of them!
