Mary Fashik is a Lebanese-born, Queer Disability Rights Activist, author, public speaker and workshop facilitator. In 2019, Mary founded Upgrade Accessibility, a movement designed to challenge today’s accessibility standards. The movement has grown to include disability rights, intersectionality, disability justice, equity and unequivocally supports Black Lives Matter / Black Disabled Lives Matter.

In the conversation today, Mary shares the backstory to Upgrade Accessibility and where and why the “Mary Mic Drops” have come from. We hear about why so many disabled people have neglected medical care during the pandemic as well as some personal experiences of Mary’s during the last few years. Mary also tells us about a very exciting upcoming project with Row House and Wheat Penny Press, and why representation is so vital.
