I am a biracial writer with multiple disabilities and a disability advocate. I always tend to look for disability inclusion in whatever ways I can find it. It could be in television, movies, clothing campaigns, etc. Why does this matter to me, and why do I look for and crave it? Growing up, I didn’t see disability representation anywhere, and I want future generations to have it in ways that I didn’t.

Until recently, I’d been on some form of birth control since I was 13 (I’m 32 now). Now that I’ve stopped popping a little pill every day, I’m learning that while I may have skipped some of the not-so-fun aspects of a regular cycle (cramps and bloating, anyone?), I also didn’t get to experience the powerful parts, like bursts of energy and strength. I also never learned how to support my body through its various shifts. With periods making a consistent appearance again, I want to do all I can to have as pleasant an experience as possible. Enter: cycle…
