Today marks the start of Disability Pride Month... if you're following me you probably already know about it, but for the majority of people and businesses, this is an awareness month few know about.
It may be confusing for some, coming off the back of Pride in June, hearing 'Disability Pride' and thinking that this month is also connected to LGBTQ Pride (in fact, one notable memory is a head of diversity for a fairly large company saying 'that's too confusing, you should change that.')
Though disability is absolutely an intersectional identity, this month of July is about finding pride in the identity of being disabled.
An uncomfortable, revolutionary idea.
Being disabled AND proud can be an exhausting, wild journey when:
The world needs convincing of our value.
People are still uncomfortable even saying the word disabled
Disability is seen as ‘separate’ or ‘other’ when in reality, it’s a part of life.
I hope this message reaches people who may or may not have heard of Disability Pride Month but don’t know much about its history or significance.
Please do share this post if you think your network doesn't know about it- and should!
This month is a great time to learn and educate yourself as much as possible, and most importantly, listen to disabled people and their experiences, and amplify their voices, as we are so often left out of the conversation, overlooked and ignored.
We need change; we need attitudes and beliefs around disability to change, equal opportunities, support, understanding and consistent action.
Don’t underestimate the power of an individual who gains the knowledge and awareness they can then share with the right people.
If you have a Netflix account, start with Crip Camp, or you can watch it on YouTube. It’s a wonderful documentary and 'required watching' to learn about the birth and history of disability rights and activism and its importance.
Got less than 20 minutes now? Watch this TED Talk by the late Judith Heumann, someone who did so much for disability rights: https://lnkd.in/eDcKFki8
I am so proud to be part of the disabled community and grateful for the wonderful disabled people I’ve met and know. We're a pretty cool bunch of people.

It takes small but conscious, consistent efforts over a period of time for an organisation to become truly inclusive. It is a combined outcome of leadership vision, changing mindsets, physical and technical interventions brought to life by many champions and allies of the cause.
I was amazed to experience a few of these myself when I joined Accenture a month ago. Here are some highlights that touched me:
1. Lift buttons in the office premises in Braille
2. Posters with important messages and call outs at each desk in Braille
3. Accessible washrooms in the office. (Well as an architect, I do have a pov that all washrooms should be designed to make universally accessible to make it truly inclusive, rather than having a separate one, but yes every step matters and this one is big!)
4. Last and the most amazing was to see an instructor in sign language (ASL) along with the main trainer during a company-wide workshop to ensure that the training is inclusive for all participants.
