As a woman with CP, the 3E Love symbol encompasses the way I choose to live my life. For me, disability is about community, about family, and mostly about connection and support. Disability is not about what I cannot do. Disability is about love, power, and growth.
Before becoming involved in the disability community, I was lost and I felt alone in my majority able-bodied world. However. upon my discovery of the disability community, I found strength and love in myself and those around me.
The 3E Love symbol brings the love, strength, and sex appeal to the larger public. Most importantly the 3E Love symbol gives others who might feel isolated and alone the means to see disability in a positive light. For many, this will be an eye opening experience.
The message of 3E Love was one of true importance to its' creator, Annie Hopkins, and is also close to my heart as well. Diversity keeps the world interesting. My diversity has shaped me into the strong Filipina woman with a disability that I am today.
Upon getting accepted into the University of Illinois at Chicago's Ph.D. in Disability Studies Program, I was denied the right to utilize my personal care attendant services that I receive in Louisiana to attend school in Chicago. I am proud to say that due to the help and support of my disability community, I am currently a full-time Ph.D, student in Disability. Though my own struggles, I want to educate people on the power of our community.
We only live life once. So, live everyday to the fullest with all of its ups and downs. Love, strength, community, and sex appeal is what the 3E Love symbol means to me!
