  • サマリー

  • Ms. Natalie Weaver is the founder of Sophia's Voice, an organization that supports people with disabilities, caregivers, and the work of disability rights activists. Ms. Weaver raises awareness about the importance of healthcare for children with complex medical conditions, fights to hold social media giants accountable for protecting the disability community online, and shares a glimpse into her life to normalize facial differences and profound disabilities. Ms. Weaver started Sophia's Voice in honor of her daughter Sophia, who was born with facial differences and multiple disabilities. Sophia passed away in May 2019 and Natalie has continued her work to honor the memory of Sophia and the powerful impact she had on this world. In 2016, Ms. Weaver became involved in public advocacy when she helped to stop her state from reducing life-saving services for thousands of children with complex medical conditions. In 2017, she took her advocacy a step further when she joined US Senators and healthcare leaders in the national fight to protect healthcare. As Ms. Weaver's public advocacy grew, she was inundated with hundreds of hateful messages toward her daughter. In 2018, Ms. Weaver's advocacy grew globally when she took on the social media giant, Twitter, and later Instagram. She fought to hold them accountable for allowing hateful and discriminatory messages towards her child and others with facial differences and disabilities. Twitter eventually added disabilities to their reporting tool, so hate towards the disability community could be appropriately reported.
