The Community Blog

Welcome to the community blog, a space for shared stories, experiences, and perspectives. This is a free monthly blog that comes out on the 15th, offering an alternative to the paid newsletter where the author shares anecdotes for a laugh. Here, the focus is on a mix of personal stories and professional topics.
In these posts, you’ll find a deep appreciation for the Democratic Republic of the United States, a nation built on the backs of its diverse people. The blog explores the idea that for a country to survive for over 200 years, its people cannot be forced to think and feel the same way; it’s the beautiful, peaceful discord of democracy that makes it great. The author, who identifies as a “political nerd”, was once invited to the State of the Union as a guest of New Jersey Senator Andy Kim and spoke about the potential cuts to the Medicaid program.
The blog also delves into life with a disability, a topic the author is passionate about. It’s viewed as the “great equalizer,” a natural part of the human experience that affects everyone in some way and is not a partisan issue. The author’s disability has shaped their perspective and helped them become a moderate, able to see all sides of a discussion. From discussing how politics connect to disability to the challenges of finding love and relationships as a person with a disability, this blog encourages readers to have difficult conversations and become comfortable with being uncomfortable.
This blog is a call to action, reminding us that America is more than money; it’s about neighbors helping neighbors and using all Americans to build a strong future.
