Happy Monday! Today we are talking about disability awareness. How often are we educated on the needs and struggles of people who have disabilities? Most times we aren't even aware of the issues and just go about our normal, regular lives. However, if we continue to stay ignorant then we won't be able to create real change in our society. That is why I was so glad to have Kayla Toure on the show who is an advocate for disability awareness!
Kayla is a 17-year-old disability awareness advocate who got her start when her older sister was getting bullied for being hearing impaired and legally blind in one of her eyes. Because of this, she has made it her mission to advocate for those with disabilities and also educate the youth on what a disability is through her organization Kindness with Kayla. As if that doesn't keep this young teen busy, she is also preparing to compete in the upcoming Miss New York Teen USA competition to take her platform to a larger scale.
