Who We Are
At NAMED Advocates — the National Alliance of Melanin Disabled Advocates — we’re building unapologetic power at the intersections of race and disability.
We’re not waiting for permission to lead. We’re redefining what advocacy looks like by amplifying the voices of Black and Brown Disabled people through education, culture, and collaboration.
We create spaces where lived experience drives the work — from storytelling to strategy, from protest to policy. Because Disability Justice isn’t a sidebar. It’s the center of every movement for liberation.
Meet Our Team
NAMED Advocates is led by disabled organizers, advocates, and creatives who bring lived experience into every aspect of the work.
We believe leadership should reflect the communities most impacted — and our structure, culture, and collaborations are designed to honor that commitment.
