There is a reason we’re spreading #JordanNeely joyful photos and videos around the ether. It’s because unhoused people are twice as likely to be victims of violent crime than perpetrators. They're less likely to be believed when they try to report a crime. #JusticeForJordanNeely

Black Mamas People's Assembly! Black Joy was present and will continue to sustain us in times of unrest. This moment was special, I'm emotional from the day and from seeing my beautiful black mamas, aunties, community builders gather for justice, unity and restoration.

When black+ brown disabled bodies continue to be taken from us willfully disposed of by state violence again+again, we consistently undermine the disability community, burying them in graves of injustice reminding them that their value, and humanity doesn’t deserve to exist.

This is the narrative many ND families are touted. It’s toxic, tiring and furthers the stigma that being Autistic is considered less than. I can’t wait until my Autistic/ADHD son goes to college or travels the world knowing that he doesn’t have to mask they way I did!

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Judy Heumann, known by many as a mentor, friend, and “the mother” of the disability rights movement. Judy was 75 years old.

To my new followers & fellow allies! Our journey began when my son was diagnosed as Autistic 5 yrs ago! Last year I decided to reclaim the narrative of what I didn’t see much of in black/brown Autistic communities. I published a 68 pg. FotoZine for my son entitled ‘KnoxRoxs’

I remember when I first began to find support & solidarity with the Black Autistic Community! @BeingKaylaSmith was one of the first to reach out to me, sharing my work, shining a light on what type of mentor my Autistic son needs! I’m grateful to this day ⚡️ Pay attention folks!

I put Knox to sleep a few hours ago and made this collage to help express my pain and to also uplift the life of Oluwatoyin “Toyin” Salau. She was 19 and should still be here. Black women are warriors and should be protected at all costs. Rest in Power. #OluwatoyinSalau
