“I am a brown, queer, disabled woman,” the Rev. Theresa Soto writes. “Pictures of people like me in mainstream media are uncommon. Social media, then, where I have my own account and can include myself as the subject, leaves space for me to show that my image and my face also matter and are also human. When I encounter dehumanizing treatment—let’s say, for example, someone calls me ‘wheelchair’—taking a selfie is a quick centering practice. I am still a person. I leave an abiding record of my personhood this way.”
Take a selfie today if you have the ability to do so. Notice how beautiful you are. Notice how much you matter.
I like ur way if thinking. Sometimes I get lost in the shuffle also. I am sure you know what I am talking about
