I'm a Masters Student from Chicago in film production with a JD from Chicago-Kent and a Bachelors from the University of Illinois in Disability Studies. When it comes to writing about disability issues, my goal is to push the conversation forward and into more complex territory. I don't think we can subsist on anecdotes and inspiration any longer, and it's time to really start engaging with higher concept matters as it pertains to social activism, media representation, and all things touched by a person's disability, which is to say all things. This kind of conversation can lead to a greater empathy and understanding of our own lives, as well as the experiences of others.
