Our mission is
to make our world more inclusive
What we do
We create + provide resources that help children (and grown ups, too) get comfortable around disability.
​
This includes:
-
Sparking open conversations about disability
-
Helping make those hard conversations easier
-
Sharing + celebrating media that normalizes disability
-
Helping disabled kids feel confident about who they are
-
Teaching non-disabled how to act around disability
​
Because if children grow up understanding disability and embracing each others' differences, our future will be more inclusive.
​
​
Why?
Because people with disabilities make up the world's largest minority group, yet they are often the least represented in society. In fact, nearly 1/4 of the US population is living with a disability today.
But due to lack of representation, hushed voices, and stigma, many non-disabled individuals don't know how to interact with and/or include them. (Hint: it's pretty much just like anyone else.)
Disability shouldn't be a source of discomfort. It should be celebrated. And that is why we're here.
​
The more we talk about disability, the more normalized these conversations become, and the more inclusive our world can be.
​
And if we start with kids, then they'll grow into some pretty awesome adults.
​
It all started with a cat.
You see, Maya has a chromosome abnormality. When we saw her adoption photo online, we fell in love. So we adopted her!
Her photo went semi-viral during the adoption process, and many people wanted to keep up with her story, so we started an Instagram for her — only expecting a few followers who would lose interest after a few weeks.
But her following just grew and grew. We started getting a lot of questions and comments, and found ourselves doing a LOT of educating.
So, we formalized it!
​
​
Now, it's a platform.
We are a proud platform for open dialogue, helping others have open dialogue, too.
Because more conversations mean more understanding, and more understanding is what our world needs most.
​
​
We are all worthy of being accepted and included.
