TikTokJuly is Disability Pride Month, a time to shine a light on and share the experiences of the disabled community.
At TikTok, we'll be supporting Disability Pride Month, championing those with physical, learning and hidden disabilities and mental health conditions; taking a moment to celebrate the joy and pride they bring to their own communities on TikTok every day.
We know that people come to our platform to be educated as well as entertained, and we want to invite our community to share their experiences and learn from each other this July and beyond.
Today we are are launching #DisabilityPride where you'll be able to find and share content about disabilities, as we invite our creators to challenge the stigma and amplify the experiences of those living with a disability.
We'll also be hosting a LIVE between @shelbykinsxo, @disabled_eliza and Gay Times on Thursday 22nd July at 6pm to continue this conversation. Tune is as they discuss all things to do with Disability Pride Month as they share their own personal journey.
