ABOUT JODY
Hi! I’m Jody Yarborough, a writer and graphic designer living in the Bay Area of California. In addition to my creative endeavors, I am a disability advocate and volunteer. I was born with a rare neuromuscular condition called Congenital Trilaminar Myopathy. I do not define disability as limiting, or inspirational, or something to be “overcome.” Instead, I challenge cultural stereotypes about disability as being “less than,” “tragic,” “broken,” or “abnormal.” I believe disability is a natural part of human diversity, and I embrace every aspect of my life with gratitude and grace. I am proud to be disabled and think we need to be unapologetically proud demand full and equal access in all areas of society.
