The Divas With Disabilities Project

The Divas With Disabilities Project, also known as Divas With Disabilities (DWD), started out as a digital movement created to amplify the images of African American women with physical disabilities. It has since evolved into a network supporting Black and Brown women and girls with physical disabilities by ensuring our identities are fostered in inclusive sources of mass media and popular culture, and our images are not erased from American history.  A Diva is defined as "empowered Black and Brown women and girls with physical disabilities".  We like to use the phrase showing up unapologetically because we, as Divas, show up in our space authentically, boldly and
 proudly ----- disabilities and all.
