As we celebrate Black History Month, we proudly recognize two trailblazers whose work uplifts Black autistic and neurodivergent communities:

At just 25 years old, Armani Williams has already made history in NASCAR. As a professional driver and autistic self-advocate, he pushes the limits of endurance each time he races. Armani knew at just eight years old that he wanted to pursue this career—and by living out that dream, he shows young people of color and autistic individuals that their goals are valid, possible, and worth chasing.

We also honor Jen White-Johnson, a celebrated Afro-Latina artist, graphic designer, and activist from Maryland. Her work spans major platforms and collaborations with companies like Nike and Adobe. One of her most powerful bodies of work centers her autistic son, Knox, whose presence and creative contributions in mixed media pieces expand visibility for autistic people of color. Through art activism and disability justice advocacy, Jen continues to educate and inspire audiences nationwide.

As Black History Month comes to a close, we honor those breaking barriers every day, whether nationally recognized or leading change within their local communities. Through their advocacy for racial equity and disability justice, we move closer to a world where Black autistic and neurodivergent individuals are seen, valued, and empowered.

Thanks to our Training & Engagement Department, Itineris clients enjoyed an exclusive tour of M&T Bank Stadium, home of the Baltimore Ravens. Throughout the visit, clients impressed the guides by answering every question about the Ravens and their players, both past and present. Some even had the exciting opportunity to test out the instant replay device in the command center.

Our knowledgeable guides gave us access to the newly opened Blackwing executive suites, the locker rooms, and even allowed us to stand right on the sidelines of the field!

It was a truly special day for many devoted members of the Ravens flock, and we are incredibly grateful for the community partnerships that help Itineris clients create meaningful memories.

The Itineris Professional Development Day was a resounding success!

Throughout the day, staff participated in engaging trainings led by both Itineris leaders and outstanding guest presenters, including Erin Moran, Dr. Zosia Zaks, and James Olmstead of Autism On the Go.

Sessions explored workplace culture and leadership, safety, task analysis, and other key topics impacting the autism and disability community. One highlight of the day was a powerful panel of autistic professionals who addressed thoughtful questions such as: “What can neurotypical people do to become better advocates for autistic individuals?”

Thank you to all of our speakers and panelists for sharing your expertise and time. Your contributions made the day meaningful and impactful as we continue strengthening Itineris together!

This Wednesday, Itineris clients and staff joined advocates from across the state at the Developmental Disabilities Rally in Annapolis to ensure their voices were heard.

With a proposed $150 million reduction to the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA), the future of critical services, supports, and staffing for Marylanders with developmental disabilities is at risk. In response, clients Claire, Nehemiah, and Sam shared thoughtful testimony with legislators, highlighting how providers like Itineris empower them to pursue employment, live independently, and actively participate in their communities.

We appreciate the opportunity to speak with Senator J.B. Jennings, Delegate Michele Guyton, MD District 42B, Senator Shelly Hettleman, Delegate Robbyn Lewis, and Jon Cardin about the urgent need to protect these essential programs.

With an April 13 deadline approaching, we encourage our community to contact your Maryland legislators and advocate for sustained funding.

This week, for Black History Month, we honor Morénike Giwa Onaiwu, an autistic author, educator, and activist whose work centers on intersectional justice.

Giwa Onaiwu has shared how her autistic traits were often misattributed to race or gender, delaying support and leading to misunderstanding and mistreatment. She previously served on the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee and now serves as Co-President of the Autistic Women and Nonbinary Network. Her writing—including Sincerely, Your Autistic Child, recognized by the Autism Society of America—amplifies diverse autistic voices and calls for greater understanding and inclusion.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we recognize and thank Morénike Giwa Onaiwu for her leadership, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to equity and belonging.
