About
NC Black Disabilities Network

The North Carolina Black Disabilities Network seeks to radically transform Black disabled people and their families' social conditions, to support their right to identify, and to determine what resources they need to live and thrive as whole people living in the state of North Carolina.

 

The Network addresses the systemic inequities within institutions that serve Black disabled individuals, their caregivers, and communities. We assist individuals and families in acquiring an optimal experience gaining knowledge to make measured,

well-informed decisions about educational and other disability service-related options. Additionally, the Network advocates for policies to optimize opportunities for individuals and their families.
