What does it mean to build justice work around my disability experience?

Sor Juana fought systems that told her what she could think and say. She used her position, her intellect, her writing—her whole self—to question unfair structures. You can do the same with disability. Justice work doesn't mean becoming an activist if that's not your calling. It means refusing to accept access barriers as natural or inevitable. It means noticing when systems are designed for some people and not others—and sometimes saying so. It means knowing your rights aren't favors. Your disability gives you specific knowledge about where systems fail. You know what happens when buildings aren't accessible, when doctors don't listen, when employment assumes everyone has the same body. That's not abstract theory for you—it's lived. That knowledge is valuable, and it's worth using. Start small: advocate for your own access. Question why something isn't available. Connect with others who share your experience. You might discover that your individual barriers are systemic ones. That's where justice begins—not in grand gestures, but in refusing to treat collective problems as personal failures. Your disability perspective matters in conversations about education, work, healthcare, technology, policy. Not as inspiration, but as expertise.
