Leroy F. Moore, Jr. Bio ABILITY Magazine Interview with Leroy Moore In this episode, Diana chats with Leroy Moore about his personal journey that led to his passionate activism, and art, and his current role as a PhD student at UCLA, advocating and paving the way for Black Disability Studies. He shares the importance of Black disabled representation in all arenas, including education. Note: Many educators and parents have been schooled in "person-first" language. This episode will include references and language which are grounded in identity-first language and disability pride language. It is important for us to be respectful of different language preferences. I ask listeners to remain open-minded and learn from alternative perspectives.

In the United States, more than 40 million Americans live with a disability. Comprising 25% of the adult population, the black community has the second highest prevalence (behind Native Americans) of individuals with disabilities across all racial categories. Despite the size of the disabled population and shocking reality that individuals with disabilities experience violent victimization at over twice the rate of individuals without disabilities, discussions about ableism and violence against people with disabilities are seldom at the forefront of mainstream social justice movements or media coverage about injustices in the US. Today, we hope to contribute to a much needed dialogue by interviewing Leroy F. Moore Jr., founder of Krip-Hop Nation, an organization geared toward raising awareness about the history, issues, talents, and rights of individuals with disabilities. During the conversation, we discuss the unique experiences of black individuals with disabilities (22:35), black disability issues during slavery (25:10),  state violence and police brutality against black disabled bodies (27:40), and ableism and the erasure of black individuals with disabilities in the media (32:11). We also have a conversation about his work with Krip Hop Nation (33:58), how advocates and everyday people can bring awareness to disability issues (36:05), the appropriate language for discussing disabilities (39:58), and the financial realities of living with a disability (42:30).    Other Topics Include:  00:30 - Catch Up with Ty and Daphne 04:27 - “Oh Lawd” News  16:47 - Introduction of the Topic  20:20 - Learn more about Leroy F.
