    The Vow

    I went to see “The Vow” today. The movie is inspired by true events. It tells the story of a young married couple (Leo and Paige) whose lives are turned upside down when the Paige suffers a traumatic brain injury as a result of a car crash and doesn’t remember her husband. Although the movie

    Forbidden Love

    Forbidden Love  Our bodies melted between the sheets of passion that lay in a heap on my bed Sheets that are reckless like the expression of our forbidden love warm and soft waiting to be touched Sheets that are now neat and crisp but not clean of the lust that is deeply woven in the

“Dear President Biden,

My name is Nicole Luongo, and I have cerebral palsy. I'm an author, a disability advocate and a writer. My work has been published by HuffPost, The Mighty, Yahoo, and more.

In 2019, I became the first person ever to get at least one building, bridge, landmark (even NFL stadiums) in almost all 50 states (48) to light up in green on March 25 for National CP Awareness Day and on October 6 (I had lightings in three other countries for this day) for World CP Day. Check out my list of over 100 lightings, which includes the Delaware State Capitol and Route 1 Bridge in Delaware, at https://nicoleluongo.com/go-green-4-cp/ My campaign was covered on the news in Rhode Island, and it was also covered in two other states, as well as in print media.

As you know, 20% of the population, including you live with a disability. Representation is so vital, so I'm writing to ask you to sign a proclamation declaring March 25 National CP Awareness Day, and to light the White House in green to celebrate and represent over 700,000 adults and children living with CP, the most common disability in childhood.

My mother was a life-long devout Catholic, and she was killed by the same nursing home (8 months prior) that made global headlines after 12 people died in their care during Hurricane Irma in Hollywood, FL. She had Alzheimer's and she died on 1/30/17, one day before what would have been her 88th birthday. 

Please help me honor my mother's (the mother of eleven, I'm her youngest child) legacy of giving back by lighting up the White House in green on March 25, 2021.

Thank you,

Nicole Luongo
Plantation, FL”
