Writing My Life Without Filters | Portland News

An author drops their most personal book yet — a raw, unfiltered chronicle of life on the move, disability rights awakening, and confronting internalized ableism. For the first time, they’re writing without shielding their mom’s privacy, embracing vulnerability as a core theme. Living in Maine taught them resilience; COVID amplified their passion for disability justice — a conversation they believe everyone must engage with.
