Don't Hide It, Flaunt It

I believe the path to self-acceptance, no matter whether a difference is invisible or blatant, is more complicated than a conscious decision to one day wake up and become a flaunter. To keep it real, it can be daunting and often has to do with how I learned to manage (& move past) the assumptions made by people around me and even and ultimately my attitude about myself. Thankfully the aim is clear- dignity. And once achieved, perhaps even becoming a change agent to help others becomes a new goal. This insightful & worthwhile article is worth all of our time. www.nytimes.com/2017/05/24/opinion/disability-denial.html?smprod=nytcore-ipad&smid=nytcore-ipad-s... ... See MoreSee Less

I have always been so taken with our RBC 'Flaunt It Award' finalists that can so vividly and boldly express themselves through art. The latest, "Spunk"--is a sculpture created by 17-year-old Sarah McIntyre. Sarah's personal statement describes both a difficult life experience that has made, "her, her" and her committed strength to moving past any hardships. Please join me in showing Sarah the DHIFI praise she truly deserves. www.donthideitflauntit.com/spunk-sarah-mcintyre-age-17/ ... See MoreSee Less
