People with disabilities are not missing any piece. Rather, strength and peace arise from our ability to embrace our entire identity.

Daniel spent his entire life learning to thrive in a body that some consider to be deeply flawed. As someone who was born blind, and with a connective tissue disorder, he is well-acquainted with the low expectations encountered by those with disabilities. These experiences have ignited a fire in him to help create a world in which everyone is afforded the opportunity to reach their potential without the barriers that hold so many of us back. In 2018, he entered the University of Baltimore School of Law, with aspirations of practicing at the intersection of healthcare and civil rights law. His involvement in Peaces of Me is an outgrowth of these efforts. Our collective passion for advocacy and furtherance of equity and inclusion runs deep.
