Conspiracy theorists are everywhere and unfortunately, just because you believe something can't happen before your talents may lack in a certain area that you do not believe it to do true- there in lines the unnecessary duo of Ableism & Insecurities. Last week's #womentowatch episode took a deeper dive into the remarkable woman that Helen Keller was- breaking down all your accomplishments, struggles and her achievements throughout her years as a deafblind individual. And interestingly enough, some people think she's fake, so I am here to help educate you along with my friends (and resources) below to debunk babes, let's go.
