Happy Disability Pride Month!

Rachel Anne Accurso, better known as Ms. Rachel, is an American YouTuber, social media personality, singer, songwriter, educator and human rights advocate. She is best known for creating the YouTube series Songs for Littles, a children's music series focused on language development for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. She and her husband created the channel in response to the lack of media resources for their son who had a speech delay and did not say his first word until he was two years old. She created Songs for Littles, a children's music YouTube series made up of a combination of classic children's songs, such as nursery rhymes, and original music for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

Accurso has often posted on Instagram about the conditions suffered by children in Gaza due to Israel's bombing and blockade of the Gaza Strip. She has called for an end to the bombing and blockade, and for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the civilians and children in Gaza who have been forcibly displaced. In one of her videos, Rachel sings with 3-year-old double amputee from Gaza. Accurso reaffirmed her support for the children of Gaza, saying that "It’s sad that people try to make it controversial when you speak out for children that are facing immeasurable suffering." Accurso, a mother to two young children, said her background in early childhood education made her aware that many of the youngest children in Gaza are being malnourished and traumatized in ways that harm their brain development during the crucial first three years of life. But mainly, she said, her concern is simply fueled by empathy.

Happy Disability Pride Month!

Mary Fashik (she/her) is a Lebanese born, q***r disability rights activist, author, public speaker, and workshop facilitator.

In 2019, she founded Upgrade Accessibility, a movement designed to challenge today’s accessibility standards. Since its inception, the movement has grown and broadened its lens to include disability rights, intersectionality, disability justice, equity and unequivocally supports Black Lives Matter/Black Disabled Lives Matter.

Through a variety of workshops and trainings, Mary helps companies understand how deeply rooted ableism is in their organizational structure and how to implement important changes. Mary strives daily to shed light on issues affecting those in the disabled/chronically ill community, particularly those that affect multi-marginalized members of the community.

She was named an honoree on Diversability’s 2021 D-30 Disability Impact List, where she currently works as their Community Engagement Manager. Mary was a founding member of a vaccine initiative online to help support the disabled and chronically ill get vaccines. She, along with 2 others, accomplished this via social media campaigns, lobbying, and advocacy. Her work helped many get vaccines during a time when it was extremely difficult for those who were eligible to get it & fought for those who states overlooked eligibility for. She also created camp access during summer 2020, a virtual camp space for the online disability & chronic illness community.

Her podcast, The Politics of Disability, was named Best Interview Podcast at the 2022 Astoria Film Festival. Most recently, she was named as an inductee for the Susan M. Daniels Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame, Class of 2022.

Happy Disability Pride Month!

Today's quote comes from Haben Girma. Haben is a lawyer, author, disability rights activist and human of Mylo, her seeing eye dog who travels the world with her. She is best known for becoming the first deafblind person to graduate from Harvard Law School, and her work has improved access and the overall quality of life of people with disabilities.

Haben credits her parents, two refugees from Eritrea and Ethiopia who arrived in the U.S. after fleeing the war, for her strength. “That taught me to be persistent. It’s OK to face the unknown…you’ll pioneer your way. So those lessons have helped me as a deafblind woman…learn to advocate so that I have a place at the table.”

In 2015, she was honored by President Obama, with whom she discussed the importance of accessible technology. Now, Haben travels the world championing people with disabilities and pleading for inclusion, especially from employers. “Disability is not something an individual overcomes. I'm still disabled. I'm still Deafblind. People with disabilities are successful when we develop alternative techniques and our communities choose inclusion,” she writes in her 2019 memoir, Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law.
