Disclosing is a big deal, not something anyone should take lightly. You have to be a part of an organization you can trust with team members who have your back. It took me over 30 years to find that trust! To others struggling with disclosing, know you are not in it alone. It's a process, and you must feel safe about your decision. Hopefully, one day, disclosing will become a thing of the past, and we will have more organizations with inclusive practices that are open environments for everyone. #inclusionmatters #disabilityawareness #disclosure
