Remembering Judy Heumann

Judith Heumann is now a disabled ancestor. She died yesterday on March 4, 2023. You can read a statement from her website and this article from NPR about her life and work. In 2018 I interviewed Judy for my podcast for an episode on mentoring and she interviewed me for her podcast The Heumann Perspective.

To honor her memory and legacy, I am giving away 25 paperback copies of her memoir, Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist, co-authored by Kristen Joiner. Details below.

“Change never happens at the pace we think it should. It happens over years of people joining together, strategizing, sharing, & pulling all the levers they possibly can. Gradually, excruciatingly slowly, things start to happen, & then suddenly…something will tip.” — Judith Heumann
