It's been a busy few days at Leeds Disability Conference! From reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting those I've only ever met online & conversing with new folks across the globe, it's a real privilege to be able to attend given the many barriers to get here #CDS24 1/3

It’s good that #CDS24 gives some spotlight to the experiences and politics of Black and Brown disabled people.

Had the most fantastic day running the @CDSLeeds PGR Symposium with Johanna Knebel. The sense of community that developed through the day was a joy to witness. Thank you to the brilliant @DrSamiSchalk, @DrScottAvery, and @tas_nimhassan for sitting on our panel! #CDS24

It's been a while since being in such a place @& I'm humbled I can attend in person, have both nerves and excitement. Looking forward to meeting so many friendly faces and catching up with content online #CDS2024 - thank you to @HannahnagroM and team for making it possible! 5/5

And third, @ALLFIEUK 's research on the lived experiences of Black & Global Majority Disabled people and their families in mainstream education will also be presented by Themesa Neckles, a project I'm proud to have been a part of! 4/5

Second, it'll be my very first time presenting some initial findings from my PhD which has been looking at the intersectional experiences of Black and Brown Disabled people across the UK (Session D2, Wednesday afternoon) - this has been a long time in the making! 3/5

First, I'm humbled to be in conversation with @DrSamiSchalk & @DrScottAvery on the topic of 'Black Disability Politics' for the PGR symposium - this global lens will be fascinating to explore! A special thank you to @LJ_Avery , Johanna, @political_leo for making this happen 2/5

Very excited to be attending the Leeds Disability Studies Conference 2024 #CDS24 this week! This particular conference this year holds a special place in my heart for a number of reasons...1/5

What will it take for political leaders to explicitly call out the Islamophobic and racist nature of the violence we are witnessing across the country?

We offer our utmost solidarity to Muslim communities and people of colour affected by the racist violence unfolding across the country.

The dehumanisation of Muslims doesn’t occur in a vacuum; it is enabled by rhetoric from the top. Many in positions of power and influence have fanned the flames of this bigotry with violent consequences.

The Independent Review of Adult Disability Payment is running a consultation and a call for evidence. Both will be open from 28 June 2024 to 23 August 2024.
