Disability Pride Month spotlight: Vilissa Thompson

Join Dr. Dee Dawkins-Haigler on WAOK for a compelling Disability Pride Month audio spotlight featuring Vilissa Thompson, a trailblazing Black disabled activist and founder of Ramp Your Voice!. In 2016, inspired by an xoJane article that excluded disabled people of color, Thompson launched the viral hashtag #DisabilityTooWhite, igniting global conversations about the lack of racial diversity in disability representation. Her work challenges the whitewashing of disability spaces, advocating for intersectional justice and amplifying BIPOC voices. Tune in to celebrate Thompson's transformative impact! #DisabilityPride #DisabilityTooWhite
