Relentlessly fighting for disability rights, justice, & culture
As one who’s intimately familiar with being “othered”, Andraéa doesn’t waver in her conviction that disability must be a part of wider social justice movements.

For Andraéa, access and inclusion is more than just ‘the right thing to do.’

In a world that was designed to be exclusionary…
