Forced Smiles
Iliana laments “There was no alternative space for me to stay if I wanted to meaningfully participate outside the sanctuary I didn’t understand how everyone was okay with seeing me struggle to climb [stairs] every [visit], and I wondered if that’s what church surmounted to for those of us with disabilities.”
Guadalupe’s Story
"God doesn't make mistakes" writes Guadalupe Pinzon, "My disability is not a flaw. It’s part of who I am. And I’m called to use my voice to make sure people understand that — especially those who haven’t been heard. We don’t need your pity. We need your respect, your inclusion, and your willingness to change how you think about us."
