In this episode of "Together We Plan", Ellen Nalven, Executive Director of PLAN|NJ, is joined by two remarkable leaders in the field of disability advocacy—LeDerick Horne, a spoken word poet, published author, and advocate for people with disabilities, and Hazeline Pilgrim, Executive Director of the Family Support Organization of Essex County. They dive into LeDerick’s journey as a person with a disability, his advocacy work, and the challenges and opportunities for creating more inclusive education and support systems. The conversation also touches on the barriers Black families face in accessing services and how systemic change can make a real difference.
