Key Points
- Strive for the best, not just a position based on a disability, but because you bring real value to the table.
- Programs like DEI often serve to check a box rather than genuinely valuing the voices they claim to represent.
- Carving your own path and advocating for yourself is exhausting but essential for true empowerment and independence.
