Get ready to bask in the sparkle of light that is Keah Brown! Keah is an author, actress, journalist, screenwriter and creator of the viral hashtag #DisabledAndCute. Keah has a special way of inviting you to look at an idea in a completely new way - this happened to me when I first read her book and it's changed my entire perspective! 

We talk about:

- Embracing being Black because she saw it modeled for her in the media growing up, but that nothing existed in a similar way for people with disabilities and how her work is changing that

- Joy being revolutionary. Keah shares how it was a hard-won belief that took serious dedication to examining her old stories that weren't working for her.

- Belief in happy endings and how that gives us the opportunity to flourish and reach for new levels.

I believe Keah will help you re-examine your long-held beliefs of how you see race, disability, and feminism. She’s done it for me! I am a Keah fan forever and I know you will be too - listen and share with your bestie!
