"It's not your prerogative to know our story or to invade our space" - Catarina Rivera. A portrait of Catarina Rivera - a blind Latina woman. She's wearing a summer dress and holding her white cane, which at first glance could be a microphone. She's smiling naturally and looking up with her left arm extended, as though she's about to perform.

“Many people, disabled people, face invasive questions and conversations such as, Well, what happened to you… we do not exist to educate you. We might choose to, but it’s not your prerogative to know our story – or to invade our space and our existence when we are living our lives.”

Catarina Rivera, April 2022

Catarina is an American public speaker and DEI consultant. Find her on her website and @blindishlatina on Instagram.
