Disability Pride: Reflections from Staff

July 18, 2023

Public Policy Director Trevor Turner holds a poster with the text "Disability Pride!" Behind that are words associated with disability pride, including "supported," "inclusion," and "independence."

Behind the policy advocacy at MCD are real people with lived experiences of disability. This Disability Pride Month, we’re turning the spotlight on our staff members, sharing their powerful, personal reflections on what Disability Pride means to them. From overcoming internalized ableism to finding strength in community, these stories offer a window into the diverse, complex world of disability. Dive into these compelling narratives and discover how pride can be transformative in challenging societal barriers and fostering true inclusion.
