My daughter wanted to be Ada Twist the scientist and there was only one costume that wasn’t available in time. Mama made it herself + baby girl nailed it. 😍 pic.twitter.com/cOXvcpO96B

Crip Camp

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, I got the chance to talk to the next generation of activists and advocates in the disability rights movement––they're continuing the work of the activists in @CripCampFilm and I couldn't be prouder of them. pic.twitter.com/k7r5JJUC9T

Barack and I want to help more people see their own story in someone else’s.
