Rep. Mike Lawler just introduced a resolution to make Sept 19 Black Autism Acceptance & Awareness Day inspired by my advocacy. This day is deeply needed. Getting it passed will be a major step forward in autism advocacy. 🖤 here is my interview with News12

Autistic values like honesty, fairness, and directness are powerful tools.
Use them 👌🏽
Acknowledging racism creates room for dialogue, builds trust, and helps dismantle harmful patterns in our spaces.
Step up, listen, learn, and grow ✨
Accountability is not a performance.

Accountability is not a performance.
Accountability is not about guilt. It is about recognizing harm, learning from it, and changing behavior. An autistic community that claims to be supportive cannot ignore racial harm. Inclusion requires facing it directly.
White, autistic, and racist ? Yes, it happens & accountability matters 👍🏽 Being autistic does not erase the impact of racism. Black autistic people face both ableism AND racism, and pretending otherwise is part of the harm 👌🏽

I’ll be posting less content this month, I’m letting my ‘brain rest’ & preparing myself to move through 2026, social interactions, notifications all take a toll on me cognitively if I don’t operate from a place of self care first ✨

People who say ‘If we weren’t related I’d date you’ are gross disgusting creeps 🤢 because you are related so why you thinking like that 🥴

On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, I’m proud to stand as an autistic person and celebrate the strength in our differences. Real change begins when we recognize, include, and value those who move through the world differently. Inclusion isn’t optional it’s how we all move forward 🫶🏽✨

From navigating stereotypes about strength and resilience, to feeling unseen in media and research, the journey toward self-definition can be complicated … really complicated but it’s not impossible.
Your identity is valid, your voice is real, and your authenticity matters ✨

Being Black, autistic, and a woman isn’t just a triple identity it’s a triple challenge 👌🏽
For many of us Black autistic women, understanding and embracing our authentic selves comes with extra layers of societal pressure, masking, and misdiagnosis.

My autism gets dismissed, my Blackness gets distorted, and I’m left trying to survive inside a body people refuse to understand..

Being a Black autistic woman means every room expects me to shrink or perform, but never just be. If I speak up, I’m “angry.” If I’m anxious, I’m “attitude.” If I’m confused, I’m “difficult.”

Being a Black autistic woman means knowing that the world is quicker to fear me than understand me. I can be quiet, shaking, overwhelmed, trying to hold myself together and somehow I’m still labeled “problematic.” People don’t see my sensory overload; they see a threat.
