Community, Conversation, and Insight — All in One Place
This month’s highlights: conversations you missed, tools you’ll love, and reasons to stay proud.
Hey tabi-gang! How’s everyone doing?
You may have noticed on social media over the past month that we’ve been highlighting what makes tabifolk unique. This started with a mini-series of popular groups you can join and interact with via the tabifolk website or app. We then shared some of the most recent popular discussions, followed by older blog posts you might have missed in recent months.
In keeping with this, I decided to share one additional group, discussion, and blog post that was not previously shared on social media, in the hopes of whetting your appetite and getting more of you good folks onto tabifolk, more often!
It’s also Disability Pride Month — a time to celebrate identity, resilience, and the progress we’ve made. While the topic has been explored widely across the internet, and doesn’t directly intersect with accessible travel in every case, it is a reminder of how far we’ve come in making the world — and the travel industry — more inclusive.
So, to everyone celebrating, advocating, or reflecting this month: here’s to you. Wishing you a joyful and powerful Disability Pride Month.
