My gratitude to Mr. Lee Conklin for highlighting my self advocacy efforts in the disability community!

Wishing everyone peace, happiness and prosperity in 2020! Happy New Year! #NewYearsDay

John Lewis: 1940 - 2020 “Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”

Happy New Year everyone!
