A Real Life What Would You Do!
Let me tell you a little story! As you may know I rollerblade around public transportation on crutches and one leg. What you may not know is that 9/10 times I jump on a subway that’s crowded or a bus that is crowded, everyone looks dumbfounded as to what to do if they should give […]

Are the Disabled a Protected Community ?
Legally in the United States of America, the disabled community is a protected class. Yet in the eyes of rising crime? I feel that the average criminal would not care if you are disabled or not.

We Must Stop Sitting on Our Hands After the Tragedy in Uvalde, Texas
Most people would automatically assume I will now advocate for gun control because the only way we sit on our hands is not acting on gun control , right? Absolutely wrong. Sure , limiting AR-15’s to strictly active military personnel, yes ACTIVE ONLY, would help. But, so many sit on their hands in so many […]

Alex Garrett on The Go: Disability is NOT inability
Say it with me: Disability is NOT inability!!! I found this saying as a hashtag and will definitely will be utilizing the hashtag: disabilityisnotinability. It is better than disability or differently abled. It blends both realities together! Because at the end of the day: DISABILITY IS NOT INABILITY!
