March is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month. The color is green. And if you’re someone who actually lives with CP — or loves someone who does — you already know what we don’t need more of. We don’t need more pity. We don’t need more cure-focused charity campaigns that treat our bodies like problems to be solved
Every March, timelines fill up with bright colors, puzzle pieces, and one-line “awareness” posts about developmental disabilities.
March 3rd is World Hearing Day, and I want to be really clear: This is not about turning Deaf and hard-of-hearing people into inspirational stories about “overcoming.” It’s about whether we get to access information, healthcare, work, relationships, and culture on our terms.
This is Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. And this year, I want to talk about what it costs us when we keep framing survival as a luxury.

"Raising awareness, inspiring healthier futures."
Men’s Mental Health Month is not just a symbolic observance—it’s a crossroads. A reminder that countless men are carrying emotional weight with nowhere safe to place it.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, emphasizing the significance of mental health which affects many individuals. With 1 in 5 adults experiencing mental illness, it's crucial to seek support and foster conversations. Signs of needing help include persistent sadness and mood changes. Prioritize mental wellness with communication, boundaries, and professional assistance.
April is Stress Awareness Month, encouraging reflection on stress recognition and support. Stress can manifest subtly, like fatigue or irritability. Effective management techniques include breathing exercises, physical movement, journaling, setting boundaries, and seeking support. Promoting peace and healthy habits fosters personal well-being and helps others cope with stress.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) affects movement and muscle tone due to brain development disruptions. Living with spastic diplegia, I faced challenges yet became an advocate for disability awareness and accessibility. My journey emphasizes education, supporting inclusive policies, and celebrating achievements of those with CP, aiming for a society that values and uplifts everyone.
