These four simple words encapsulate a powerful call to action: to not see my disability as my sole identifier but to recognize me for all that I am including my disability.

Although Disability Pride month is coming to an end, our commitment to inclusivity and support for disabled entrepreneurs continues. Did you know there are approximately 1.8 million business owners with disabilities in the U.S.? Let's continue celebrating and supporting them while advocating for policies to help them and their businesses prosper. There are currently two critical bills in Congress awaiting passage. The Supporting Disabled Entrepreneurs Act and the Think DIFFERENTLY About Disability Employment Act. Let's stay informed and help to make these bills law. #disabledentrepreneurs #accessibility #inclusion #supportdisabledbusinesses #disabledownedbusiness #advocacy #diversehamptonroads #HamptonRoads #diversebusinesscommunity #supportdiversesmallbusinesses #businesscommunity #supportdiversenonprofits

You may not be disabled now, but you probably will be. Did you know that almost every person will experience at least one disabling event in their lifetime, and according to the ABA, one in four of today’s 20-year-olds will become disabled before they retire? This is why advocating for disability inclusion is not just advocating for others, it's advocating for who you could be. Building a better future for us means a better future for you. #disabilityinclusion #advocacy #diversityandinclusion #disabilityawareness #policyadvocacy #inclusionisforyou
