🎉 July is Disability Pride Month🎉 ️and we’re celebrating the 💪STRENGTH💪 and 🌟PRIDE🌟 of the disability community! Disability Pride Month is celebrated in July to commemorate the signing of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which was signed in July 1990!
Throughout this month we will be spotlighting different disabled poets that we think you should know more about, because disability isn’t something to fix — it’s something to honor. 💛

Hey Fam! We have 🌟OFFICIALLY🌟 begun our Public Capital Campaign to help us raise the rest of the money needed to finish @the_emory.gr !
We have already raised 76% of what we need to complete our dream home, but due to inflation and increased construction costs we still have a bit further to go!
It would mean the world to us if you would join us for an upcoming tour and hear about all of the 💯AMAZING OPPORTUNITIES💯 our new home will offer our community!
Visit the link in our bio to book a tour or donate directly to The Emory!
Want to know more about our Capital Campaign? Read more from @wzzm13 @wgvupublicmedia @fox17online or @woodtv at the link in our bio too!
