Legacy
Once upon a time there was a young women who went to a grad fair. Seeing all the graduation ceremonies they left because there were things for other graduations , Black Grad, Asian Grad but no graduations for those with disabilities. Being a disabled advocate she went to the disability program and mentioned it to the staff. The staff liked it so they put it on. Today was that day. It was a fun day. This will be an annual celebration at the school. This is pretty good legacy to leave behind.
For those of you that are worried that this means this graduate will not be included in the traditional ceremony, Don' t worry she will walk across the stage in ten days.

Definitely the best thing I've ready today! Great job AZ - keep up the advocacy efforts, you're AMAZING!
Congratulations! Read your story via The Inclusive Class.
And I read your graduation story through your Twitter.
How awesome is it that disabled students will be together through the ceremony?
[I remember our own table of 6 to 10 - then when people went off to the beach...]
[And then Valedictory Dinner...]
I think it's awesome you were recognised as an identity group. And I'm sure people will go and realise all the different ivtersectionalities involved.
Congratulations for the 11th!
What happens as an alumna? You'll soon find out.
