“Behind the disability, we have a heart and a mind.”
Matthew Kenslow

Bryan Stevenson
“There are hundreds of ways we accommodate physical disabilities--or at least understand them. We get angry when people fail to recognize the need for thoughtful and compassionate assistance when it comes to the physically disabled, but because mental disabilities aren't visible in the same way, we tend to be dismissive of the needs of the disabled and quick to judge their deficits and failures.”
Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

“There's nothing more debilitating about a disability than the way people treat you over it.”

Haben Girma
“Navigating ableist situations is like traversing the muckiest mud pit. Ableism runs so deep in our society that most ableists don't recognize their actions as ableist.

Haben Girma, Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law
