The National Alliance of Melanin Disabled Advocates (NAMD Advocates) is a network that supports the leadership of disabled Black and Brown change agents, advocates, entrepreneurs, and communicators. We convene leaders who have a collective commitment to racial & disability justice, and we share fundamental strategies to individuals that work to enhance the social, political, and economic standards of their communities.
The NAMD Advocates have partnered with a range of Black and Brown leaders to teach how they have built successful initiatives. Our 2021 Leadership Summit will help you and your team build skills so you can advance more efficiently and with confidence.
For the longest, disabled people of color have been dominated by our connection to the medical industry and institutions. These images and stories often evoke pity, pain, and even brutality.
