We support individuals and families in finding solutions, understanding their rights, and advocating for change across DC. If something feels off, trust that instinct and reach out early—prevention and planning can help reduce crisis and keep people safe.

Christine is a deeply passionate advocate who consistently centers the people she serves, modeling a person-first approach and inspiring her colleagues through her dedication and persistence.

At Quality Trust, we recognize that disability justice is inseparable from racial justice, and that true equity requires listening to, supporting, and centering Black people with disabilities year-round — not just this month.

At the intersection of racism and ableism, Black people with IDD often face compounded barriers in education, healthcare, employment, and safety, while also being leaders, advocates, artists, and community builders in their own right.

Your lived experience matters. This is a chance to speak directly to decision-makers about what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change. Accessible participation is a right—not a privilege. Let your voice be heard!
