Praise<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Alice Wong should be in charge of editing all books. Even better, Alice Wong should be in charge of everything! To Alice, words like \u2018diversity\u2019 and \u2018intersectionality\u2019 aren\u2019t just buzzwords. They are marching orders. In this book, she has collected a staggering array of stories from writers who experience disability in vastly different ways. This isn\u2019t meant to be THE DEFINITIVE BOOK on disability. It is a doorway, and Alice is inviting us all to go through the doorway and continue our learning process. She even ends the collection with a bibliography that extends far beyond your standard reading list. Whether you currently consider yourself part of the disability community or not, you\u2019re gonna want to take in the wisdom woven throughout this book. Now more than ever, our society desperately needs to listen to and take action on the changes disabled artists and activists have been demanding for so long. I am lucky she is my friend.<\/p>\n
