I am Disabled By Society, not because of my sight loss. Not because I am Autistic and not because I'm Neruodivergent. 

I am Disabled by the inaccessibility, the ableism and the exclusion. The exclusion of Disabled People. We are seen and treated as an afterthought, a burden, a problem to be solved, but I say no more. 

Working at AMS gave me my voice. It helped me overcome a lifetime of internalized ableism, and it helped me bring my lived experience to my role.
