July is Disability Pride Month! This designation is a celebration of disabled persons who embrace their disabilities as key parts of who they are and own their visibility in public and fully embrace their disabilities in the open, thus, rejecting stigmas and internalized ableism. Disability pride has been described as “accepting and honoring each person’s uniqueness and seeing it as a natural and beautiful part of human diversity.”
In honor of Disability Pride Month, I’m highlighting a dynamic disability warrior I’ve recently been inspired by, Lauren “Lolo” Spencer. I first saw her story on Tamron Hall Show This woman is on the move! You may have seen her in the HBO Max Series, The Sex Lives of College Girls where her character is celebrated and beloved for the way she shows up. You can learn more about her from the recent articles I read in Refinery29, New Mobility Magazine and ABILITY Magazine. Lauren Spencer (@itslololove) is a rockstar and loves fashion too! She has been styled by an Adaptive Fashion designer - Stephanie Thomas Disability Fashion Stylist - another standout in her field. Join me in continuing the celebration of disability pride and adaptive fashion! Follow me for more highlights on adaptive fashion and disability awareness!
