I received the saddest news Friday. This post talks about death. My beloved fribling, colleague & mentor Tinu Abayomi-Paul aka Empress of Twerk. NO DMs died Thursday morning at home.

With blessings from her dear and loving family: I am devastated to say that our dear friend, community leader, mentor, family member, & renowned disability activist, Tinu Abayomi-Paul aka Empress of Twerk. NO DMs Atinuki Abayomi-Paul passed away at home on Thursday morning. She is finally at rest and without pain.

I've been advocating for a while that we all should have the space to develop our own feelings about our own disabilities without policing or speaking over others and now there's a thousand disabled people asking seemingly for the first time why anyone would feel positively...
