My heart is heavy as I reflect on the passing of the incomparable disability activist and writer Alice Wong. πŸ’” She was bold, unapologetic & unflinchingly honestβ€”yet compassionate, kind & fiercely loving + supportive of the disability community. I'm grateful to have met her briefly & for her writing, advocacy & example for living. Shine on, Alice. πŸ•―οΈ

If you haven't read Alice Wong's books or delved into her interviews, please check out the archive here: disabilityvisibilityproject.com

Alice touched SO MANY LIVES, including mine. Her work exposed me to disability stories I had never heard before, challenged my assumptions & pushed me to do better as an advocate.

Alice's work certainly isn't over. She left an imprint on disability justice & disability culture that will shape our world for generations... But she will be missed. Sending love and light to her family & friendsβ€”to any & all who are grieving this tremendous loss. May her memory carry us forward. ❀️
