Wow. I feel like this book should be required reading for anyone seeking to understand diversity and deepen their activism and empathy. What an amazing compilation of so many powerful disabled writers, activists, artists and more. So much diversity is reflected in this book, as well, adding such beautifully rich layers to every narrative.
As someone recently disabled, I felt incredibly seen and understood through the voices of multiple contributors.
Highly, highly recommend.
