Sara Shams shares her point of view on the weight of language, as someone who lives at the intersection of disability, womanhood, and cultural diversity.

"Every word we choose or avoid reflects something deeper about the world we live in and the world we are helping to shape.

When we talk about disability, race, gender, or culture, the language we use has the power to either uphold harmful systems or challenge them.

It can reinforce stigma, or it can drive change."
