Thank you @azdisabilitylaw and @labelleverite

This week want to get to amplify those who are Black and Disabled in all areas of higher education with

#BlackDEHEMRollCall 🙌🏾

Your self diagnosis is valid. You don’t need to disclose. We want to build community and 1/

You can mention wanting the link to the Discord and we will DM it to you. If you have any questions about disability, ask us anything. We will amplify it to share with others who have the same question. Racism is hard to face & with ableism it can be a compounded burden 2/

We are here this month to dispel myths, start conversation, amplify events at the intersection of race and disability as well as each of you who identify as Black and Disabled. #DisabilityTooWhite is what we hope to bring to dismantle by amplifying diverse voices. #BlackInX, 3/

Please amplify our #BlackDEHEMRollCall to your followers as in every #BlackInX movement representing fields in #academia - we are there, silent and unseen. Please see and hear us at least for this month, hopefully for much longer @BlackInAstro @BlackInArtsHums @blackinarch 4/
