| Introduction | This blog began in 2014, the work of a vigorous, dedicated advocate (she/her/hers) focused on advancing rights and increasing opportunities for people with developmental disabilities in Washington, DC. I am the parent of a young man receiving supports from DC’s Department on Disability Services, and was formerly chair of the DC Developmental Disabilities Council. In addition to advocating for full inclusion of people with disabilities in our local community, I strongly support statehood for DC, where I have lived since 1978, since without it no DC resident, disabled or non-disabled, will ever be fully empowered. You can also find me at https://cagrigsby.substack.com/. Opinions in this blog are my own. |
| Interests | DC statehood, local history, a capella singing |
| Favorite Books | I read constantly and have belonged to the same book club since 2000. I read about equal amounts of fiction and nonfiction but would have a hard time picking specific favorite titles! |
