Jen White-Johnson speaks on mothering, neurodivergence, and creating zines for self-advocacy
About the speaker
Jen White-Johnson defines mothering as an act of resistance as the process of redesigning ableist visual culture with the intent to empower and foster change. Her work encourages communities to engage in conversations about acceptance, particularly focused on how Black neurodivergent children are valued and perceived.
Her creative work delves into the erasure of the Black-disabled community in digital and literary media. Through the use of photography and design, Jen’s visuals serve as acts of resistance, amplifying conversations within the Disability community. Her efforts contribute to the ongoing need for the development of anti-racist, anti-ableist media.
