Keri Gray is the Founder and CEO of the Keri Gray Group. In this video interview, she addresses the intersections between the disability and African American communities.

“Out of all the folks who have disability, over 20 percent of them are from the African American community. Across the different intersections, disability exists. So when we’re talking about social justice movement, when we’re talking about political and social empowerment of our people, we have to know that our people are impacted by disability. I’m tired of seeing our people being killed. I’m tired of seeing our people being institutionalized and being systematically broken. In the United States, we have to think about how are we ensuring that our people are free and given access to opportunities and resources that they need instead of being detained in places that confine them.”
