Kelli and Crystal met through Down syndrome advocacy. 💛

They noticed Black families were underrepresented.

They asked, “What would it look like if we built a space for us, by us?”

BDSA was born. ✨

Today, BDSA connects Black families with vital resources, support, education, and community.

People with Down syndrome don’t exist to inspire us. They deserve the freedom to simply live. Going to school shouldn’t be considered a miracle. Having friends shouldn’t be headline-worthy. And while we will always celebrate their accomplishments, their everyday lives don’t need to become motivational stories for others.

At the Black Down Syndrome Association, we’re working toward a world where people with Down syndrome, especially those in Black and Brown communities are seen, supported and valued as fully human.
