Disability Visibility: First-Person Stories From the Twenty-first Century by Alice Wong

emotional informative inspiring slow-paced

4.0

Let me preface this with I am not an anthology fan. I find it hard to keep track of the different stories. But I knew I needed to read this one, because the stories and writers were something and people I could relate to. Each story had a unique and important message and each one was special in it's own right. For that, I highly recommend everyone, and I mean everyone, read this book. Because although I have a disability myself, I learned something new from each and every one of these stories.

Some of my favourites include:
Guide Dogs Don't Lead Blind People. We Wander as One. by Haben Girma
Nurturing Black Disabled Joy by Keah Brown
Why my Novel is Dedicated to my Disabled Friend Maddy by A. H. Reaume

I wish that there was a collection of these types of stories from a Canadian perspective. I also appriciat that each story has content warnings, if necessary at the beginning, because let me tell you, there are many more than I can list.

Content Warnings
