Brown hopes the hashtag will empower all members of the community to celebrate their whole selves, especially in a world that often suggests disability makes them less-than.
"My disability is not all that I am, but it is a big part of who I am," Brown told Cosmo. "I will never not be disabled, and so to [conceal] that part of me would be ridiculous."
