For Disability Pride Month 2024, I wrote an article featuring Corinne Cashin, a financial literacy educator and farmer. Highlighting the intersection of disability and agriculture, she shares how her journey as a land steward has profoundly shaped her perspective on disability, wellness, and community.

Excerpt:

“Nature, in its infinite wisdom, demonstrates that all beings have a role to play. Yet, the American food system has historically excluded marginalized communities, including those with disabilities. By investing in Black agricultural and food businesses, we can begin to rectify these inequities. To truly nourish our communities, we must ensure that all Black individuals, including those with disabilities, have a seat at the table and opportunities to thrive. A just food system is one that reflects the diversity of our society and embraces the contributions of all.”
