I am a confident, beautiful, and stylishdisabled Black woman.
Spoiler alert: Plenty of us do have sex.
(Even public spaces often arent accessible, so why would dating be?)
This mindset can add tremendous weight to the question of when to disclose a disability to a potential partner.
The moment I tell a guy on a date that I have heart conditions, theres always a pause.
and What if she has a heart attack right now?

Ive also been ghosted after disclosingleft alone for telling the truth and sharing the reality of my disability.
In some instances, this has led me into a spiral of self-consciousness and embarrassment.
Again, I dontlookdisabled to most, because plenty of people without disabilities make assumptions about what that entails.
This indicates he is open to supporting my disability.
At that moment, the idea for Dateability was born.
Unlike me, she says she would be totally happy if she remained single.
Through her continued health journey, Jacqueline has learned her worth.
She no longer believes in the toxic narrative that she is too much for someone else to handle.
These things are true for all people with disabilities and chronic illness.

And we can certainly take pride in that.
But I often ask myself the question: What is pride without the love of a partner?
And does it matter?
Can the love we give ourselves reflect all the pride we have?
Some say that love heals all, which may be true.
Perhaps Ill try Dateability… or see if I can find Trevor Noah on Raya.
