Why The ALAN Project is important to our founder
Here is an example (from @alanprojectfounder) of why inclusion is so important. It is not just about bringing people into one’s life, it is also about deepening their current relationships.
Do you resonate with this at all?
ID: text on a beige background that reads;
“When I talk about sadness in relation to what I have ‘lost’ socially because of my disability, it is not about the people I have lost - I have so many awesome people in my life.
Rather, it is the depth of the relationships that I have lost.
For example, I have met so many people who I have had a good conversations with, but they often don’t lead to anything substantial (e.g. hanging out and doing stuff together).
And I sometimes wonder whether that might be different, if I didn’t have my disability”
-Satria Arbai, The ALAN Project Founder
