This year’s theme is Disability Culture: Loud, Proud, Unstoppable.

 

We’re putting the “lit” in disability by honoring the resilience, pride, collaboration, and ingenuity of our community in the face of daily challenges.

 

We invite you to join us in honoring who we are, what we’ve built, and where we’re going.

 

We are proud to feature:

 

Lachi (she/her) is a legally blind American recording artist, songwriter, touring performer, record producer, media personality, author, and disability culture advocate.

 

A USA Today 2024 Woman of the Year, Lachi is also the founder and CEO of RAMPD (Recording Artists & Music Professionals with Disabilities).
