This. Many of us have been taught to mask our disability if it's "hidden" Let's encourage people to be open and remember humans are built to be interdependent social beings. I wear the sunflower 🌻 lanyard to start this conversation how about you #disability #masking

A thought from St John Chrysostom (4th Century saint often sent away for challenging the church)
"For Christians above all men are forbidden to correct the stumblings of sinners by force"
Seems appropriate for our day somehow 🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🙏🏾
