My experience with starting the organization and planning this disability week reminds me of Cynthia’s experience in founding Kupenda. Cynthia saw a need for a need for disability advocacy and empowerment in Kenya, and she began the task of responding to this need. Cynthia’s example, as well as countless other disability advocates, have taught me that while I may not be able to tackle ableism and disability stigma in all its forms, I can create a small space of hope and empowerment.
