RAMPD envisions a world where all music professionals can build career authority and financial stability without having to mask. This Disability Pride Month, we honor the great work of the creators and professionals in our network who are navigating the space with resilience and drive, while coming together to power build for a better industry. We honor the stellar dedication of our fully-disabled leadership, and of course, we honor the work our music and audio partners have been doing to get educated, and to work with us to bring awareness. We feel privileged to have everything from our trainings to our mixers to our stellar Member Network be so openly embraced by all of the major movers and shakers in the music industry — not as charity — but as colleagues. Happy #DisabilityPride Month to all. Let’s celebrate Disability Culture, identity, and inclusion year round!

What a POWERFUL Night!! ✨ The Disability Hip Hop Jam during Grammy Week in LA brought together an unforgettable night of music, comedy, and community, celebrating disability culture and the power of inclusion in hip-hop. Featuring live performances from West Coast artists Garnett Silver-Hall and King Khazm, along with a dynamic set, from RAMPD Pro Member, TapWaterz of 4 Wheel City, the event showcased incredible talent and diversity on stage. DJ Sabeerah held it down on the 1s and 2s, keeping the energy high throughout the night. The event was hosted by Pamela Galvez, creator of the “Don’t Dis My Disability” Comedy Showcase, adding a powerful and entertaining layer of comedy to the experience. With industry guests, advocates, and supporters in attendance, the energy was electric and the response was overwhelmingly positive. More than just a show, the event was a statement proving that disability culture and artists with disabilities deserve a place in mainstream hip-hop and Grammy Week conversations.

The Anti-Ableism Series Part 364 Featuring @theaustinhalls Our worth is not up for debate. 🧡 The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is available in print, audio, and ebook at /book Video description/transcript: Austin wearing a red suit and Tiffany in the frame. Tiffany: “Do you want to be a better ally to disabled people?” Austin: “Always. Hi, my name is Austin Halls. I’m a disabled pop star, model, and motivational speaker.” Tiffany: “And a disabled icon?” Austin: “Well, some would say. Stop assuming that we are less than anc that we are not worthy. Being born with my face completely paralyzed, my speech is affected, and I cannot hide my disability as it’s literally face value. So when I show up to all new spaces, I have to disclose to make them know that I’m worthy, deserving. So stop assuming and just believe that we can and we will.” Tiffany: “That’s it!” Austin: “That was easy!” #AntiAbleism #Disability #DisabilityInclusion #BeAnAlly
