Mailbag

The Disability Debrief “mailbag” is where we share reader responses and reactions to recent editions of the newsletter. 

Did a line from a personal essay make you laugh? Could you relate to another writer’s experience? Did our lens on a topic open conversations for you?

Get in touch and share your view! Tell us how a recent Debrief made you think, cry or take action, and you might find your response in the next Mailbag.
