Yess! Also did anyone notice @mzoffranieri's pleated white-tee? I mean...what a way to elevate a casual-day outfit! Did Michael iron it like that or is it the design? Inquiring minds want to know. #designer #style

DM to me: “Don’t say disabled. You have ability.”
Disabled and disability are not bad words.
Disability and ability are not mutually exclusive.
Disability and ability coexist.
