Our New Divas With Disabilities Community Is Here!

Divas! We have something new and exciting to share with our community!

Over time, many of you have asked for a space where conversations could continue, resources could be easier to find, and connections could grow beyond social media. We’ve been listening.

We are officially introducing the Divas With Disabilities Community, our new dedicated online space created specifically for Black and Brown women and girls with disabilities and those who support this work.

This space allows us to:

• connect more intentionally

• share opportunities and resources

• host programs and discussions

• build relationships in a safer and more supportive environment

Facebook will still exist for announcements and updates, but the deeper conversations, resources, and engagement will now live inside our community.

There is no pressure to do everything at once. You can join, explore, and participate at your own pace.

Join us here:
