"I share many stories of talented, multidimensional disabled people. But the first chapter of my memoir starts with this anecdote because disabled kids are made vulnerable by ableism. Resisting ableism must be part of every movement for liberation.

Over the past few months, thousands of people have been killed in Tigray, a region of Ethiopia. The war has displaced about a million people. NPR summarizes the war here: https://www.npr.org/2021/03/05/973624991/9-things-to-know-about-the-unfolding-crisis-in-ethiopias-tigray-region

I’m not Tigrayan, but my heart is big enough to care for all the different ethnic groups of Ethiopia, Eritrea, and beyond. It’s not a Tigray crisis, it’s a humanitarian crisis.

Help speak out against the ongoing violence in Tigray." - Haben Girma
