Yesterday I was able to attend an event called Celebrations of African-Americans with Disabilities at the African-American History Museum in Philadelphia, PA. My Mom does some photography for the special guest, Zarifa Roberson, who founded and owns i.d.e.a.l Magazine Company. It is the only magazine for urban youth with disabilities, and its been in circulation since 2004.

I tagged along with her and was able to take some photos afterwards, but I really did enjoy myself. I learned so much about people who suffer from numerous disorders and illnesses and I realized that they aren't as different as people may think. So let's not forget that October is not only about Breast Cancer Awareness, but also National Disability Employment Awareness. To check out i.d.e.a.l Magazine go here, 'like' them on Facebook here and follow them on Twitter here. Oh, and let me know about the outfit! Thanks guys and be safe...Sandy the Storm is coming! Ahhhhhh! Talk to you soon.
