-Thompson speaks about the need to adopt an intersectional lens when talking about disability.

-Disability occurs across all racial ethnic language and social groups. Disabled people from marginalised groups are more likely to face challenges accessing public services and support.

-lack of reported data on intersections of disability and race leads to erasure of these groups and their experiences and disparities in health outcomes within these communities.

-these disparities were amplified or made visible by COVID 19; i.e the disproportionate death toll experienced by communities of colour during the pandemic.

-her comments about lack of representation of disabled people of colour in the media has made me think about the need to research and include work by disabled practitioners of colour; this is a big hole in my reference material. While I strive to draw on a diverse range of practitioners work, this does not encompass disability.

-this is a complex subject which doesn’t have the same traction as race, gender and class. There isn’t the same public discourse around this subject, so it’s hard to reflect meaningfully on this topic as someone who does not belong to this community.
