Our Ableist Language: It’s Okay to Be Behind, But It’s Not Okay to Stay Behind ✨Appreciate what you’re learning? Dig in deeper and become a patron at Patreon.com/SonyaReneeTaylor or give a Venmo offering: @SonyaReneeTaylor✨ [video description: Sonya discusses Lizzo and Beyoncé recently removing ableist language from their new songs due to feedback from disabled communities and uses this as a jumping off point to ask us to review our ableist language with humility, grace, and accountability. She encourages us to believe marginalized people who are harmed by oppressive language and to realize that if we haven’t heard of something before, it’s likely because we haven’t been privy to the long history of conversations going on due to our own privilege and lack of contact with a particular marginalized group of people. It’s okay if we’re behind in the conversation, Sonya counsels, but it’s not okay to stay there.] . . #SonyaReneeTaylor #RadicalSelfLove #WhatsUpYall #Lizzo #Beyonce #Ableism #Accountability #Growth #TheBodyIsNotAnApology
