Once again, I am so excited to welcome the @UofCalifornia to @UCSanDiego for our Disability Awareness Track. This track is for disabled students by disabled students, but also to make @UofCalifornia and @UCPrezDrake aware that we are a community with our own culture.

I feel like this event is just the beginning for the Disability community within the @UofCalifornia system, not just for students. But for all of us including disabled staff, faculty and alumni as the @_UCSA Disability Ad Hoc is in the process of going non-profit!

You will also learn more about the Disability Ad Hoc Committee on Sunday as well. Disability Advocacy is within & beyond @UCSanDiego. I hope that professors and PI’s in @UofCalifornia will share this event with their department, students or research assistants. See you soon!

Input #DisabilityTwitter: "Most instututions are are federally funded and thus has to include disability in statements. Unfortunately, disability is a spectrum & doesn't have it's own culture. (Deaf culture is the outlier) So it's hard to be seen as a unified culture. 1/
This was my question: Why do you believe that disability has made it into DEI statements of most institutions, yet has remained limited to accessibility and accommodations without being seen as a cultural group deserving of diversity program focused on disabled students in 2/

Happy New Year to all of my Twitter friends! One of my goals this year is to expand my business in financial education & planning for 2 reasons.

1. I want to build my savings for my upcoming move for grad school

2. I want to help as many people in the US and Canada as I can 🧵
Tomorrow at 9am PST, my business will be hosting an open house where you will learn who we are, what we do and what might be in it for you.

If you are looking for an opportunity, you need no experience just a will to learn along with integrity.

If you want to plan for your
financial goals, we provide financial needs analysis and ongoing support at no hourly cost. I have gotten so much value in now having an emergency fund for the first time in working with my financial coach who I consider a mentor

I realize that as a Black Disabled woman, I can’t
