As we approach the end of Disability Awareness Month, I want to share a powerful audiobook I've been engrossed in - "The Future is Disabled" by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. It's not an easy listen, but it's incredibly impactful. While I don't align with every perspective, many of the author's thoughts resonate deeply with me and I believe they can inspire disability activism groups.
This book isn't as tech-focused as I initially expected, but it delves deeply into the essence of community building. It raises crucial questions that we, as people with disabilities, need to ponder. How can we leverage our unique experiences and the resilience we've cultivated to shape the future?
One of the intriguing ideas it presents is a library of accessible things - a concept that I find fascinating.
I highly recommend this book for its thought-provoking insights. It's a testament to the power of our collective experiences and the potential we hold to create a more inclusive future. #DisabilityAwarenessMonth #TheFutureIsDisabled
