On Her Transformative Passion

Every weekly ART/EMIS meeting, Abigail comes to the Education Task Force that she leads brimming with articles for us to read, books she recommends, issues that are mulling around her mind – everything from the lack of visibility for disabled BIPOC within the healthcare system to voter suppression among socioeconomically disadvantaged African American women; she always makes sure to prioritize educating first herself, then anyone willing to listen, because it is only through thoughtful education and an open mind for spaces to be effectively made. Further, by educating herself on issues that are not familiar to her identity, she is actively engaging with both hooks’ and Lorde’s concepts that it is within an appreciation of our collective differences where love for one another can begin to blossom. Her work not only encourages her audience to love each other for all our differences, but she shows people niche experiences that most did not realize existed, allowing a love ethic to permeate to even the most hidden areas of society.
