We created Billion Strong in April 2021. Sadly my husband Ed Ruh passed away in March 2022. So between that personal loss and other losses like two of my brothers died during #covid19. So Billion Strong got delayed. Then we were delayed in getting the #IRS 501C3 because they got delayed due to #COVID. However, we are now a fully licensed #nonprofit. I do want to give a loving shoutout to LinkedIn and my point person Victoria Taylor (she is a gift). They selected me as one of their #First100 voices #licreatoraccelerator to accelerate and gifted me $20,000 to support #BillionStrong. So they were the first corporation to support our efforts to bring together the 1.3 B persons with lived experiences with disabilities with pride and ways to explore our #identities and the #intersectionality of our communities. Plus to applaud #corporations like Linkedin that are supporting our global community. LinkedIn has now offered this accelerator program to help voices engaged in #SocialJustice all over the world. PROUD to announce Billion Strong is now a fully licensed 501c3 Nonprofit. Please join our #free movement at www.Billion-Strong.org. Please consider #funding our efforts and joining us as partners. Thanks, LaMondre Pough Nabil Eid and Jasmin Ambiong for your efforts. Special thanks to the Ruh Global IMPACT team for helping found Billion Strong.
