    Did you know that The United Nations declared the Did you know that The United Nations declared the year 1981 as the International Year of Disabled Persons (IYDP)? And, the UN declared 1983 -1993 the International Decade of Disabled Persons. 💚💚💚 In 1992, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed December 3rd as the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. 💚💚💚 Over 1 billion people around the world have a disability. People with disabilities account for 15 percent of the world’s population, making us the world’s largest minority. Furthermore, one out of every seven people is affected by disability. 💚💚💚 WE are HERE. WE matter. WE can contribute our gifts to society. WE are awesome. This is why advocacy is so important! 💚💚💚 I'll be making my voice heard in a brand new way in 2021 (stay tuned for details). How will you use your voice? #nicoleluongo #whatCPlookslike #cerebralpalsy #internationaldayofpersonswithdisabities #disabilitylife #disabilitypride

It’s so good! • • I turned it into salsa mac + cheese with some @pacesalsaandsauces and of course I added Parmesan cheese because why not??? #nicoleluongo #whatcpcookslike #instantpotcooking #pasta #yummyinmytummy
