- Calling Up Justice!

Dot’s Home

Maiamama, captivated her live-stream audience as she delved into the immersive world of Dot’s Home during a captivating episode of Gaming4Justice. The game itself, a single-player masterpiece, revolved around the life of Dorothea “Dot” Hawkins, a vibrant young Black woman in her late twenties who resided in the bustling city of Detroit, Michigan, alongside her beloved grandmother, Mavis Hawkins. This interactive narrative, which merged gaming with the themes of housing and racial justice, proved to be a thought-provoking and enlightening experience.

Backbones Talk

Claudia Alick held an empowering talk about disability identity with the BACKBONES Youth Summer Program. BACKBONES connects people with spinal cord injuries and their families with events and one on one meet-ups. The ten youth participants shared their stories about how they entered the disability community. Claudia shared history of disability movement, disability justice concepts, and accessibility vocabulary that allowed the group to talk about disability identity and their world. We closed with a conversation inspired by The Justice Producers Collaborative about how our disabled identities inform our work in the world and make us uniquely qualified. It was awesome to end reflecting on disabled innovation, resialance, perseverance, creativity, and advocacy. It’s a cool accessible program and we were honored to participate.
