Blogging to Stir Understanding, Advocacy, and Hope

When people with dwarfism and other disabilities encounter ignorance, insincerity, and inequity I’m compelled to speak up, take action, or write something.

Quotes by Angela Muir Van Etten (?)

“Advocacy makes change possible when people are willing to call out what is wrong, care enough to stand up for what is right, commit to the cause for as long as it takes, choose the right forum, collaborate and form coalitions with like-minded people and organizations, communicate with honesty and respect, and have confidence in God’s ability to change hearts and minds.”
