Lois and the Olmstead Decision made the realities of community care and living possible. Take Lois’s words and legacy with you today. Remember her, honor her, and say her name: Lois Curtis. Speak power to her name and keep her story, talents, and legacy alive. Thank you, Lois. We are forever indebted to your advocacy. Rest in Power.

Disability Pride Month is an important time to shed light on stories often untold. We hope by sharing this information, Frida Kahlo’s full story and identity as a disabled, bisexual, Mexican, woman of color, and talented artist will be told. Her identities and experiences shaped the way she painted, how she painted, why she painted, and what she painted. To continue to view Kahlo in a vacuum, without honoring her marginalized identities, limits our understanding and appreciation for her work.
