Today I celebrate my fellow creators and professionals with neurodivergence,
disabilities, and other conditions powering the music industry!
​
I'm proud to support @rampd_up and its mission to advance disability inclusion across the music industry. Together, we can create a future in music where everyone has the opportunity to participate, contribute, and thrive.

@graduatesrise and @mikewindyart sat down for a nice long chat in Inglewood this week. Cynthia George PHD, MSSW is a professor in the Social Work program at Tennessee State University, Founding Chair of Disabled to the Front Advisory Group and band leader of Dr. Cyn and the Graduates Rise. This conversation covered a lot of ground including an upcoming wheelchair repair party planned for September at Drifters in Five Points. Dr. Cyn’s idea to connect bicycle, roller derby, skaters, and the disabled communities is brilliant but you have to hear it for yourself! We hope you give it a listen! #drcynandthegraduatesrise #drcyncorrigible #drawingsouthpodcast #mikewindypodcast

Voting is Disability Pride y’all! Be sure to check your registration status and research the candidates running for office in your area. It is more important than ever that we cast our votes for candidates that are going to protect and honor disability rights!

Also shown are the logos for RevUp, Civic TN, TN Disability Coalition, Dr. Cyn and the Graduates Rise, and their song Be The Teeth. taken in Tennessee by @graduatesrise

Do you know what happens when disabled people decide to #BeTheTeeth? Meaningful change. That’s what happens. #DisabilityJoy #ADA #DisabilityPower #animation 

Image Descriptions: Video stills from the Be The Teeth music video designed to show “before being the teeth” and “after being the teeth” images. One is a cartoon policy scroll named “ADA” and before it has no teeth and looks sad, after it has teeth and is smiling. Two shows a person using a wheelchair being dumped by the curb cut into the street as the before, the after shows the curb cuts connecting to crosswalks; Three shows a blind person before using a white cane getting stuck in a revolving door, after she is able to walk through an automatic sliding door; Four depicts a person using a walker unable to go up a flight of stairs before, after there is a ramp. The fifth image features an animated image of Dr. Cyn and says Be The Teeth. taken in United States of America by @graduatesrise

Who remembers Rollins Market? That makes you real Madison:) My great uncles Alf and Tom started the store and I grew up working there. I took these shots there just before the new owners demolished some of these structures. Miss you Alf and Tom and Great Aunt Mary (she’s the one that put in the hot food counter and produce sections but it’s still a bit of a food desert). Loved my time there nonetheless!
