Tatum Tricarico (she/her/hers) is a 23 year old Disability rights advocate. She is attending Duke Divinity school in hopes to become a progressive pastor and create space in the Church for Disabled people and other marginalized groups. She enjoys reading, writing, advocacy work, and board game nights with friends. You can follow her on instagram @blind_Person_in_area . I am part of @yoDisabledAndProud which is a youth organizing network for Disabled youth ages 16-28.Tatum recommends:"If you’re interested in more Disability Theology, I recommend reading The Disabled God by Nancy Eiseland or Spirit, A Healing Homeletic by Kathy Black, or  the Politics of Disabledment by Sharon Betcher. Or you can read my senior honors project here: https://pointloma.whdl.org/sites/default/files/Tricarico%2C%20Tatum%20HP.pdf If you are interested in Disability Justice more broadly, I would recommend reading Being Heumann by Judith Heumann (@theHeumannPerspective on instagram) or listening to her podcast, reading Care Work by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha (@leahlakshmiwrites on instagram), reading Haben by Haben Girma (@habengirma on instagram), or following @crutches_and_spice and @the.autisticats on instagram."

The music artist she mentioned was Semler (Grace Baldridge) @gracebaldridge on instagram. Tatum recommend listening to Jesus From Texas, but her entire preachers kid album and late bloomer albums are amazing.
