"I have an intellectual disability but that doesn't mean I have a problem with my intellect. I want to be treated like my family and friends treat me: as a person." - Nicole, Minnesota #SpeakKindness

"I want others to feel like they belong. That they have a place in this world. And their opinions are being heard by others." - Elizabeth, Indiana
