July was Disability Awareness Month. Today’s guest is a member of that community who speaks about his experiences.
Joseph Ellison tells us his courageous story that includes the early death of his mother, being adopted by his parents, and his diagnosis of slight “mental retardation” as a child along with ADHD in the early 90s (now changed to intellectual disability) along with the challenges and triumphs he has faced in an unforgiving world. He also tells us his involvement in the Black Lives Matter rallies. He can be found on Instagram @jojoellison99
Being mixed race and having a disability can be twice as hard for these members in our community. What can we do to give them more of a voice and be inclusive so we can address their rights? Are there any heroes and sheores in these communities we should know?
Bringing stories on what it means to be multiracial in America, one story at a time, from the studio to the streets.
