✨ "I have autism, what's your disability" - Cameron, 321 Barista ✨ Happy Disability Pride Month! 🤩 I feel very lucky to interact with people with all types of disabilities every day, and I am better off because of it. One time I was working with one of our baristas named Cameron. If you've ever visited 321 Coffee when Cameron is working, you know you're in for a treat. She greets everyone with a smile and a rapid-fire series of questions like, “What’s your favorite boy band?”, "Who's your cartoon crush?" and “What did you name your car?”. It's AWESOME. One day, Cameron said to a customer, “I have autism, what's your disability?” I saw the customer tense up, and I was ready to step in. I saw the customer exhale and say, "You know, I'm not very good at math". Cameron, with her ever-present enthusiasm, quickly said "Well I'm great at math! If you were born in 1970, you just turned 54!" and the conversation continued. Cameron taught me so much in that moment. She showed me the value of vulnerability and the importance of genuinely connecting with others beyond the surface level. This is just one of the many examples of how you can learn so much from surrounding yourself with people who are different from you. At 321 Coffee, we celebrate people for who they are because there is so much value in diversity. When you put people from different backgrounds together, it challenges the way you think, highlights your blindspots, and offers fresh perspectives. This is what gives us the power to grow and the ability to innovate! This month is all about celebrating the experiences, achievements, and challenges of the disability community. Something that 321 absolutely loves to do (regardless of what month it is!) 🎉 So cheers to being different! #DisabilityPrideMonth #WorkplaceInclusion #Awareness #321Coffee

Did you know? July is Disability Pride Month! Globally celebrated, Disability Pride Month is a time for disabled folks to celebrate our achievements individually and as a whole. Here in the US, July 26th is also the 24th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act being passed, so this month also serves as a reminder for how far we've come and how far we still have to go in regards to disability rights. And like Pride month, it's also a time for awareness. #DisabilityPrideMonth (Image description in comments)

We celebrate in July to mark the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), groundbreaking legislation that has advanced disability equity and inclusion in the U.S. Disability Pride Month is a time for people living with disabilities to celebrate their unique talents and skills, and to spotlight inspiring stories that show what's possible with inclusion. It's also an opportunity to recognize that people with disabilities deserve to live full, self-determined lives, just like everyone else. #DisabilityPrideMonth #AdvocateForInclusion #NAFICT #HartfordCT [IMAGE ID: A graphic for Disability Pride Month featuring illustrated figures with different disabilities, including wheelchairs and crutches, on a striped background of the Disability Pride flag colors.

In July, we commemorate Disability Pride Month! Disability Pride Month was first recognized in 2015 by then-NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio in honor of the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This annual observance promotes visibility and awareness of the positive pride felt by people with disabilities. The overall mission of Disability Pride Month is to help change the way people think about and define “disability,” to break down and end the internalized shame among people with disabilities, and to promote the belief that disability is a natural and beautiful part of human diversity in which people living with disabilities can take pride.

🎉 Celebrating 33 Years of the American Disability Act! 🎉 Today we commemorate a significant milestone for people with disabilities—the 33rd anniversary of the signing of the American Disability Act (ADA). This landmark legislation has transformed lives, shattered barriers, and paved the way for a more inclusive society. 🌟 The ADA stands as a powerful testament to the belief that every individual deserves equal rights, opportunities, and access, regardless of their abilities. It has empowered millions of people with disabilities to participate fully in all aspects of life—education, employment, public spaces, and more.

Thanks to the ADA, we have witnessed remarkable progress in promoting accessibility and dismantling discrimination. Accessible transportation, braille signage, closed captioning, and reasonable accommodations are just a few examples of the positive changes it has brought about. #ThanksToTheADA #ADA33 #InclusionMatters #DisabilityPrideMonth

Public Service Announcement: In honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, I like to hone in on the importance of paid speakership opportunities for people with disabilities. Highlights: - For many, people with disabilities do not get paid for their time, treasures, and talents. - Allocate a budget that includes paid opportunities for speakers with disabilities. - A commitment to disability inclusion includes paid speaking opportunities. #LetsWorkInclusively #NDEAM
