The week of my favorite disability leadership conference is here!!! I'm excited for the opportunity to learn and be inspired from everyone who will be participating on with us--(which if you ask me is nothing short of an understatement.) I am thrilled to share what is in my heart about being a good disability leader and if you must know--I cannot wait to be a part of something that means so much to my life!!! I cannot wait for an opportunity to reconnect with my NINJA friends and feel empowered to see things change inside of the disability community. 

I am excited for the chance to share my insight on why leadership is important and even though I cannot make any promises about not getting teary eyed over what I have prepared. It is definitely going to end up being a heartfelt moment for all of the mentors, who have benefited so much from their experiences in the conference itself and I know there will be a lot of unforgettable moments to share!!! NINJA has been such an incredible part of my life for the past six years and going into my seventh year will not be any different than not getting to be around my friends in person--but I know next year cannot come soon enough. 

Mini Shout Out: (Ninja Peeps)

I'm grateful for the hard work, energy, time, commitment, dedication, passion, especially the heart that has gone into making this virtual conference happen. I've admitted one too many times about how lucky I am- getting to work alongside the best of the best on a regular basis, which if you ask me is nothing short of a dream come true!!! I am grateful for their patience into listening to whatever it is I have to say and lending a hand to anything when I can at any given moment :) Thank you all so much for being who you are in the world and continuing to do good--no matter what obstacles you have to overcome to get there. I know my experiences as a self advocate would not be what they are, if it had not been for all their encouraging words of advice and everything in between. I love you all so much and cannot wait to spend this week with all of you through my computer screen--Stay tuned for updates next week!!!
