New intro thread, because time moves really quickly?

Here's who I am, what I do, some of my work, and how you can support me ⤵️ (1/10)

I'm Kayle. 24 years old. I'm disabled & chronically ill.

I'm a writer, public speaker, and disability justice advocate.

I have my bachelors in media studies & my masters in disability studies. (2/10)

I am currently serving a year with Public Allies through Americorps, an apprenticeship program that allows me to work with a local nonprofit.

My dream is to work with disability public policy in the nonprofit sector (and maybe law school? Who knows!) (3/10)

I became interested in public policy due to my experience filing an ADA lawsuit - one that is still going through the courts 4.5 years later. You can read about it here (4/10): dralegal.org/case/westchest…

But I also really, really enjoy writing about my experiences with disability. I do that through twitter threads & personal essays. Here is a thread about my diagnostic journey:

And this is a personal essay I wrote about the 10 year anniversary of the spinal fusion I underwent at 13. medium.com/@kaylehill/a-s… (6/10)

I occasionally post on my website -- though writer's block is difficult!! You can always subscribe to it so you know when I post: kaylejh.com (7/10)

I also enjoy talking to people about my experiences with disability. After coining the hashtag #AbleismTellsMe, @ZDFheute interviewed me. In October, I was interviewed by @csmonitor about the accessibility of remote work:
