The Divas With Disabilities Project A Diva is defined as "empowered Black and Brown women and girls with physical disabilities".

Divas With Disabilities (DWD) mission is to amplify the images of Black and brown women and girls with disabilities by promoting them through various media platforms. DWD is a network supporting Black and Brown women and girls with physical disabilities by ensuring our identities are fostered in inclusive sources of mass media and popular culture, and our images are not erased from American history. We like to use the phrase showing up unapologetically because we, as Divas, show up in our space authentically, boldly and
proudly ----- disabilities and all.

No one else gets to write our story for us. Only we have that power.

Elevating Diva Energy

Today, we are lifting up this incredible Diva — Shameka Andrews . She’s been rolling with Divas With Disabilities since its very inception, always bringing light, pride, and unstoppable shine everywhere she goes. Sometimes we don’t need a reason to honor each other — we simply rise together. And today, we’re giving all praise and love to Shameka for being the radiant force she is.
