As a disability justice group of self-identifying folks with cross disabilities The Empowered Fe Fes utilizes collective support and care as resistance to claim presence and highlight women’s issues providing a disabled perspective in mainstream conversations where women with disabilities, especially Black and Indigenous women of color, are historically excluded. Through peer support groups, career planning and mentorship, their members build up the skills and confidence to advocate for their needs and push for inclusive social, political and professional landscapes.
