Did you know? July is Disability Pride Month! Globally celebrated, Disability Pride Month is a time for disabled folks to celebrate our achievements individually and as a whole. Here in the US, July 26th is also the 24th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act being passed, so this month also serves as a reminder for how far we've come and how far we still have to go in regards to disability rights. And like Pride month, it's also a time for awareness. #DisabilityPrideMonth (Image description in comments)

Disability Pride started as a day of celebration in 1990, the same year that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed. By 2015, this celebration expanded into an entire month, and since then, Disability Pride Month has been celebrated globally each July.   Disability Pride Month can mean different things to each individual. I view it as an opportunity to start conversations and raise awareness among people who are not part of the disabled community on how to be better allies and support inclusivity.   CFA Institute remains committed to inclusivity and fairness for all, creating better work environments. As we wrap up Disability Pride Month, let’s continue to work together to foster a more inclusive society.   #DisabilityPrideMonth #DEI #DisabilityInclusion

“Embrace Your Unique Journey: Disability Pride Month” In this vibrant month of celebration, let us honor the strength, resilience, and beauty of those who navigate life with disabilities and their support network. Disability Pride Month is not just about awareness; it’s a call to action—a reminder that our differences are our superpowers. Join the Movement: Educate: Learn about diverse disabilities, their challenges, and triumphs. Knowledge empowers change!

Let’s create a world where everyone thrives, regardless of ability. 🌎💙 #DisabilityPrideMonth #InclusionMatters

Now is a great time to reflect on your accessibility efforts! This can include accessibility of physical and digital workspaces, events, and of your website and online platforms. How do you support your employees with disabilities? Are they represented in leadership? Do they have access to an ERG or BRG? Disability means different things within the community and cannot have a one size fits all approach. Society revolves around the able-bodied person and barriers are not always physical - they can include stimulation and psychological factors as well. As an individual with invisible disabilities, I do my best to advocate for myself and others both inside and outside of the workplace, while recognizing the privilege of not having appearent or visible disabilities. This means taking the time to design communications, meetings, and programs around the most disadvantages individuals so that when rolled out, it is inclusive with as many people as possible. How does your organization support and advocate for its disabled population? #disabilitypride #invisibledisabilities #Inclusion
