Image Description: light orange flyer with original art work by Christian. Fun, bright red font reads “be the change charleston and disability pride” then “Disability Pride Community Hangout + Vendor Pop Up, the alcove 4951 Jenkins Ave, 6 pm to 9 pm, 31st July”. In the middle of the flyer is an original art work described by the artist as: I have the word "Inclusive," colored in orange going down the left side of the page. The capital letter "I" in Inclusive is for a hidden message. Next to Inclusive, I drew a purple heart that has five types of disability symbols in it. They are The Wheelchair Symbol, The Mental Disability Symbol, A Braille Symbol, A Prosthetic Arm Symbol, and a Deaf Symbol at the bottom of the heart.) Last, on the bottom right hand corner is The Disability Pride Flag. When you put them altogether, it reads I (in Inclusive) love (purple heart) Disability Pride.
Stay in the loop with all the Inclusive events happening in the Lowcountry. Not only during Pride month, but all year round.
Be the Change Charleston curates a calendar of Inclusive Events from the Community on their website.
The official Disability Pride Finale at Holy City Brewing is taking a break this year. We’ll see you in 2027!
