Opengate was honored to serve as a nonprofit partner at the Westchester Women’s Summit! It was inspiring to connect with this powerful community and share Opengate’s mission. Hearing keynote speaker Hoda Kotb (former Today Show co-anchor) and moderator Tara Rosenblum (News 12 Westchester anchor/reporter), and celebrating women business leaders, reminded us of the strength and vision that drive meaningful change. That change reflects the legacy of Opengate’s founders: two courageous women whose dedication to their adult children with intellectual and developmental disabilities shaped our organization and its mission. We’re grateful to be part of a community that uplifts and empowers all of us.

This Black History Month, Opengate honors four Black disability trailblazers and celebrates their leadership, resilience, and their lasting impact on the advancement of accessibility, dignity and inclusion for all. Among the heroes and heroines who transformed policy and opened doors for people living with disabilities:

Johnnie Ann Lacy — Helped establish one of California’s early Centers for Independent Living, and led Community Resources for Independent Living (CRIL).

Imani Barbarin — Contemporary disability justice communicator and advocate amplifying Black disabled voices and policy issues.

Deidre Davis Butler — Lawyer and federal official who used her experience with disability to help draft and implement key 1980s–1990s disability protections (including work around the Americans with Disabilities Act and Air Carrier Access Act).

Lois Curtis — Plaintiff in Olmstead v. L.C. (U.S. Supreme Court, 1999); her case established that unjustified institutionalization can be discrimination under the ADA and helped shift services toward community‑based supports.

Seri made Opengate her home this year, and this video says it all! A beautiful glimpse into her daily life, growth, and goals. Through our tailored day program, she’s found calm, gained independence, and grown in confidence despite visual impairment. With the support of our dedicated team and community, she’s truly made Opengate her own.

Huge thanks to Seri and her family, and to our outstanding Opengate Team. Their journey is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when care, patience, and individualized support come together.
