Arizona mom Samantha Lackey decided to create an inclusive Elf on the Shelf after looking around and seeing a lack of representation for people with disabilities.
“Did you know the disabled community makes up 25% of the world’s population? Making it the largest minority group in the world AND one that you can join at any point in your life,” Lackey wrote. “We’ve learned how important representation is to raising a daughter with a disability. We’ve also seen how immensely UNDER represented disability really is in our lives. REAL disability, not Drake in a wheelchair. We, as allies need to do better for the generations we’re raising. Normalize disability.
Well said and well made. We hope Bean the Elf also sparks a generation to do better when it comes to representing disability.
