A Personal Invitation from Lola
This day is incredibly meaningful to me as a self-advocate with a disability, and I’m passionate about advancing disability rights. Let’s work together to make our voices heard! If you have questions or need any additional information, please reach out to me directly at lola@kcdd.org.
