Name: Jay aka Baby Prince Pronouns: He/ him/ his Location: Chicago, Illinois Who represents Disability? The advocates, underdogs and thundercats of the world. Black and brown folks in the States and throughout the world diaspora, poor workers, senior citizens of color, my aunties and uncles, and my brothers and sista soldiers that seek visibility, love, support and dignity within their multiple communities. What do want people to know about disability? Disability will transform people's lives in mysterious ways. Don't be afraid of IT. It's just a different human outlook on life's struggles. Disability is a key part of my messy yet beautiful whole self. I just want to be open to love. As a complex community, we are worthy of our uniqueness, of true love(s) and justice, and for that we will not apologize. How can #DisabledIAm help get your message out? Just by showing/ exposing me as I am: a perfectly imperfect blender of a man. https://www.instagram.com/p/CD33arkp_LC/?igshid=vqwz3kzh3ofh
