#CommunityAsHome will feature 15 digital portraits and stories representing the diversity of the disability community We welcome people 18 years and older to submit their images and reflections about home and community with 3 ways: online survey, video & audio.

We explore the following with #CommunityAsHome: What is the power of finding community? Who are your communities and cultural homes? How do you find and sustain community? What does it mean to belong as a disabled person in society?

How do you see yourself in relation to the world around you? What is the beauty and joy of finding and being with ‘your people’?

Image descriptions: [left] Illustrated portrait of Alice Wong and Ashanti Fortson, with a purple, pink, mauve, and blue color palette. Wong is an Asian American woman wearing a dark blue jacket and a pink-and-lavender chevron-patterned scarf, as well as a mask over her nose with

a tube for her Bi-Pap machine. Fortson is an Afro-Mexican person wearing light yellow star earrings, large and round pink glasses, and a dark blue knit shawl with accents in bright pink. Clouds swirl in front of the figures, and stars are visible in the night sky behind them.

Shooting stars with bright pink trails are scattered throughout the portrait. Near the bottom of the image, embellished text reads "Alice and Ashanti," and the text "#CommunityAsHome" is underneath. [right] Light pink graphic with a muted purple stitching-like detail running
