inauguration

When I saw the plans for the Women's March on Washington, I immediately made plans to attend the local march in my hometown of Austin; but after a few flight checks and discussing logistics with my husband (we have two young kids), I decided to go to D.C. I texted a few of my girlfriends and one of them got on board as well. I finally had something to look forward to, a tiny glimmer of joy after the awful reality we were handed on November 8th.

It is January 19, 2017. It is the last day of Barack Hussein Obama’s presidency.

To the man taking the wheel in this country: as a person with a disability, I feel like I’m nothing and THAT terrifies me.

Ms. Angelou may be gone, but her stirring words live on.
