Host/DJ Ability : Welcome to Ability Anyware Radio, a disability advocacy podcast.&#13;
Today is January 20, 2020.  On this glorious day, we're celebrating &#13;
Martin Luther King Day and the International Day of Acceptance. &#13;
Both of these events are perfectly aligned.&#13;
&#13;
Dr. Martin Luther King once said:&#13;
&#13;
"People are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality."&#13;
Stop and reflect on that for a moment.  It's quite profound and &#13;
also embodied in the following is message from 3ELove. Please share &#13;
it with others and encourage them to participate this special day with &#13;
commemorative tweets that exemplify acceptance. Your tweets could include&#13;
words of wisdom, photos, videos, sound bites or any other multimedia.  And it doesn’t just have to &#13;
be solely for today.  You can do it throughout the year to show the beautiful neurodiversity in our community. &#13;
&#13;
&#13;
The International Day of Acceptance is a day dedicated to &#13;
social acceptance of disability, and to honor the late Annie Hopkins, &#13;
founder of 3ELove and creator of the international Symbol of Acceptance.&#13;
This logo is a person moving in a heart shaped wheelchair with the words &#13;
“Embrace Diversity” + "January 20th”+ “International Day of Acceptance.” &#13;
Tell the world you embrace who you are, a person with social rights, &#13;
who has an opinion, who has interests, who has goals and who loves life. &#13;
You are a person who is empowered to make a difference in the world and will&#13;
 not be without a voice in society. You are not living disabled. You are living. &#13;
Tell the world that you are accepting of people with disabilities. &#13;
As our parents, siblings, relatives, spouses, children, lovers, coworkers,&#13;
 teachers, personal assistants, friends, and anyone else-you also have a role &#13;

&#13;
Don't go changing to try and please me&#13;
You never let me down before&#13;
Don't imagine you're too familiar&#13;
And I don't see you anymore&#13;
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble&#13;
We never could have come this far&#13;
I took the good times; I'll take the bad times&#13;
I'll take you just the way you are&#13;
Don't go trying some new fashion&#13;
Don't change the color of your hair&#13;
You always have my unspoken passion&#13;
Although I might not seem to care&#13;
I don't want clever conversation&#13;
I never want to work that hard&#13;
I just want someone that I can talk to&#13;
I want...</googleplay:description><googleplay:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/1e063ec13f8318efff16e33d2230ac3d.jpg"/><googleplay:explicit>No</googleplay:explicit></item></channel></rss>
