Hey guys. I've always had this topic on my mind. It's almost an attempt to
correct a cultural narrative. For the most part, people who do not struggle
with clear or declared disabilities seem to think that those who do have
clear disabilities always need help. The disabled population is always
portrayed as that population that needs accommodations, assistance, help
etc. I would love to counter that narrative. I think that people who
struggle with clear or declared disabilities have a lot to offer. We are
professional, efficient, successful, leaders, creators etc. The challenge is
that sometimes those who struggle with disabilities seem to accept The
cultural narrative. So I'm wondering if, On The Cutting Edge of Leadership,
would be a good theme for the convention
