AcceptUs NotKillUs is a collaborative public project developed with disabled community members of color in Chicago and published as a zine in 2019. Through timelines, archival materials, interviews, and other resources, the project traces the history of police violence against disabled people and the community resistance that emerged in response between 2012 and 2018. Co-edited by Nohae and Timotheus Gordon Jr., the zine documents and highlights moments of disability justice and solidarity.

The hashtag AcceptUs NotKillUs originated as a social media campaign launched by Advance Your Leadership Power (AYLP) at Access Living in April 2016 in response to police violence against disabled people. The campaign called attention to the intersecting social and political conditions surrounding such violence, including race, disability, class, gender, sexual orientation, citizenship, and religion.

Ultimately, this project was not only an act of memory-building, but also of world-making and language-making—creating a vital space for disabled people of color and forging the language necessary to advocate for their lives.

Reading #ForrestGump for the first time…and now I see why things toned down in the movie

Which was a shame….minus the racism, I like this version of Forrest better. He reminds me of…me! Unfiltered, loving, talented but also overlooked. And Forrest can put it down on Jenny; now I also see why they got married! She loved the hardwood 😂

🖤 BLACK AUTISM ACCEPTANCE DAY SUMMIT 2026 🖤

This September, we’re making space for Black autistic voices, stories, brilliance, advocacy, and joy.
Join us for the inaugural Black Autism Acceptance Day Summit, a free two-day virtual gathering created to center the lived experiences and perspectives of Black autistic people.

Across two days, we’ll have powerful keynotes and conversations exploring identity, autism acceptance, racism and systemic barriers, disability justice, education, fatherhood, creativity, self-advocacy, representation, community, and the future of Black autistic voices.

I’m excited to be participating as both a keynote speaker and panelist on September 20th! I’ll be providing my insights on Black men’s experiences with autism, including fatherhood, vulnerability and mental health, community building, and advocacy and leadership tools & opportunities.

📅 September 19–20, 2026 🕛 12 PM–4 PM ET each day 💻 Virtual & FREE to attend
This is more than an event. It is a space for connection, visibility, truth, celebration, and change.

I’m honored to be joining an incredible group of Black autistic advocates, creators, educators, researchers, parents, artists, and community leaders for this important event.

Registration information will be available soon. The organizers are thoughtfully working out the best way to keep the space safe while allowing those who have expressed interest in attending to enjoy and participate in the summit.

Stay tuned for registration details, and I hope you’ll join us!

How to honor my fellow advocate/childhood crush @dd2629 and quench my thirst: get a #FrozenHotChocolate from @dunkin

Dorwhitem (DJ) put me on to that when we (whether it’s just me and her or me, her, and @jaimejaycee1) used to hangout at Dunkin’ after @accessliving advocacy group meetings

I miss you, DJ 💜
