We're about to begin live-tweeting a powerful conversation on disability justice and labor rights with Rebecca Vallas ✨, Inevitable Foundation co-founder Marisa-Torelli-Pedevska & Accelerate Fellow Monica Lucas, and United for Respect leaders Joan Morris and Mona Abhari. #DisabilityPhilanthropy
Rebecca Vallas ✨ Inevitable Foundation United for Respect 'As an African-American woman, I look at my experience as I've had to learn every lesson the hard way. With disabilities especially, one of the hardest things I've had to learn is that you have to be your own advocate.' - Joan Morris, United for Respect #DisabilityPhilanthropy
Rebecca Vallas ✨ Inevitable Foundation United for Respect 'I'm a Puerto Rican woman on the spectrum of autism...my experience has taught me to try and respect what I'm capable of and allow myself to have some grace and to also give that grace to other people when they need it.' - Monica Lucas, Inevitable Foundation #DisabilityPhilanthropy
Rebecca Vallas ✨ Inevitable Foundation United for Respect 'It's extremely important to ground myself in lived experiences so I know what world I want to fight for, for myself, my family and everyone is treated with dignity and respect.' - Mona Abhari, United for Respect #DisabilityPhilanthropy
