Remembering the late founders of 3ELove this Disability
Pride Month. Annie and Stevie Hopkins loved life and lived by the credo that we
should all be accepted and allowed to live life to its fullest, no matter what
we look like, no matter what we can or cannot do.
I don’t know what will happen to 3ELove, the business that
provided much of the incredible merchandize I used for reader gifts now that
Stevie has passed, but I believe in my heart, that Annie and Stevie would want
us to pick up the torch and keep spreading their message of love and acceptance.
I intend to do that. Through my writing, through the social content I share.
As an author, I strive to spread acceptance of diverse
characters, by responsibly contributing to the disability narrative and
celebrating Disability Culture. I share 3ELove's mission through the author
events I participate in. As an individual, I embrace #DisabilityPride and
I strive to live by the 3E's.
Embrace Diversity.
Educate the unaware.
Empower people of all abilities.
Love Life!
"It's not our differences that divide us. It's our inability to recognize,
accept and celebrate those differences." ~Audre Lorde
