I am honored to co-host and moderate the panel RepresentationMatters: Authentic Disability Representation: today at 12pm for Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities, Indiana Statewide Independent Living Council - INSILC, and Count US IN Inc.
Register: https://lnkd.in/ejgbVMf
Panelists include: Keri Gray, Adreenah "Dreezy" Wynn, Danicia Malone, Lindsey Batteast, and Ray Lay
More about the event: We will unpack how disability is typically portrayed and seen (as white, male and cisgender) and how this reinforces stereotypes and perpetuates the stigma surrounding the disabled body and the lived experience of individuals with disabilities with multiple, marginalized identities. We’ll examine how this portrayal fits into the general #RepresentationMatters movement and discuss the significance and need to increase the meaningful inclusion/participation of multiply marginalized individuals with disabilities in the media to policy-making, as well as what that representation means to the disability community and how it plays a role in disability pride/empowerment.
