Maternity Rolls Book Review – The Importance Of Diverse Stories

Before I dive into my review of Maternity Rolls, I just want to thank Disability Maternity Care for sending me this book! Disability Maternity Care is an amazing non-profit that helps support women with disabilities who want to become mothers. As a woman with a disability, their message resonates with me so deeply. I was over the moon when they reached out a couple months ago asking to work together on this partnership.

So, as you read this review and decide whether or not you’d like to read Maternity Rolls for yourself, know that by making a purchase using my affiliate links, you will not just be supporting me and my blog, but you will also be making an impact on the wider community!

You Are A Badass At Making Money Review – Internalized Ableism And $$$

I started to read this book slowly, and quickly realized that I wanted to make it my January book of the month for 2 reasons:

1. I think talking about the ways in which my disability has impacted the way I view money is important to the wider conversation of ableism and disability.
2. Everyone deserves to feel empowered to make the money they deserve after the hellish year we have all been put through.

Before You Read Laughing At My Nightmare by Shane Burcaw, Read This

Growing up, I learned to hate biographies, not necessarily because they were boring, but mostly because they were assignments. On top of that obvious barrier, I often found them difficult to relate to. Most of the ones I encountered were about people who lived during the 19th and 20th centuries. So, not only were the stories seemingly ancient to my teenage mind, but they also were written about older adults who had essentially finished their story.

Disability Visibility Book Review – Disability Intersectionality Is EVERYTHING

This book is outstanding. If you are at all interested in learning more about the disabled lived condition, it is simply a must-read. If you’re following me on social media or subscribe to my blog’s mailing list, I am so grateful for your support and interest in my story and experience. That said, my story alone is not going to change the world. Disability Visibility opens up conversations into topics I cannot cover, including cultural, racial, and gender intersectionalities with disability. As a white, average-sized, young, disabled woman, my privileges are vast compared to many others within the disability community. I am grateful for this book because it shed light on perspectives I hadn’t before considered.
