- Together, we have created a movement. Since 2018, we've tweeted 40K times. In April, the #DocsWithDisabilities hashtag left 2.6 million impressions. Most importantly, we created a space for people to connect, share their experiences, research and build community. Thank you 🤍

![Blue infographic with photo of Chase Anderson on the left. #DocsWithDisabilities in black text within a white box. Text: Episode 65. Quote, “‘How is intersectionality protective? How can it be a beautiful support system for people?’ [To Justin] We are both black and gay and we get to interact in a way that nobody else can ….. I think that's why intersectionality can be beautiful. These are extra pieces to somebody that can enhance who they are and create this whole person who is a tapestry in some ways."
