Diversability
ELEVATING DISABILITY PRIDE, TOGETHER
We are called Diversability because we believe that disability is diversity and that disability is diverse and we want to showcase that in everything we do. We are proud of our disabled identity and reiterate that "disability" is not a bad word. However, language is complex and we suggest asking the disabled person about their preferred terminology.
Diversability® is a social enterprise to elevate disability pride through disability community, visibility, and engaged allyship. We're like the Disability Employee Resource Group (ERG)/Affinity Group that exists outside of a company.
Diversify Our Narrative
We're a 100% grassroots organization composed of high school/college students throughout the United States of America pushing for equitable, long-lasting reform within our school districts (public, charter, and private). The centerpiece of this movement is around the concept to #DiversifyOurNarrative through the books, curriculum, and teaching practices we engage in. Our students work with local school boards, school administration, and their educators to spearhead tailored resolutions/reform addressing the complex issues of more-inclusive curriculum, teaching pedagogy, racial equity, educational disparities, etc.

General Assembly
EMPOWERING WOMEN IN TECH.
Ada Lovelace is often considered the world's first computer programmer. Grace Hopper helped invent the computer compiler that led to the development of the COBOL programming language. Mae Jemison, an engineer, physician, and NASA astronaut, became the first African-American woman to travel in space.
Throughout history, women have played central roles in the advancement of STEM. Yet, the number of women in technical professions — particularly minority women — has steadily declined over the last few decades. GA has set out to help reverse that trend with See Her Excel.
