Disabled And Here

Deaf joy

A Deaf Black man smiles and signs in American Sign Language while holding a “Deaf joy” print. The man is wearing glasses and denim overalls and has a black and white beard, septum piercing, and hair pulled back by a bandana. The background features a vibrant mural with a Black woman’s face in close-up.

Support Disabled And Here

While Disabled And Here’s collection is free, we encourage organizations and regular adoptors to donate in solidarity and cover production costs. Contributions support disabled BIPOC and ensure the sustainability of Disabled And Here and Affect the Verb (now independently a 501c3 nonprofit) as a whole!
