We're on Substack + Very Important News at Embracing Disability
An Update from Founder & CEO Roxy Rocker
Embracing Disability - because a hug knows no disability. (See the new logo with our new tagline.) When I say a hug knows no disability, it’s because at our core, we are one. Stories are what connect us all.
Embracing Disability is first and foremost a media company - which is why we’re going to be launching a Storytelling Initiative & Campaign. Because ALL stories matter. And when you see the name Embracing Disability, I want your first thought to not be, “But I don’t have a disability. This content isn’t for me.” Because remember - a hug knows no disability. In a perfect world, your first thought is going to be that you see the importance and immense value in telling stories of overcoming and beating the odds. Our stories are what tie us all together.
Embracing Disability isn’t just for disabled people to be embraced. It is a call, ask, and plea for all of you to do the embracing.
