Nicole Blocker says we don’t often choose the role of caregiver— it chooses us. But ultimately, it’s all about how we rise to the challenge. This is what she did when emergency spinal surgery resulted in her mother being diagnosed with a physical disability. This #DisabilityPrideMonth, Nicole shares how she’s using her experiences to empower others.
Nicole joined the #VerizonADVANCE (Advocates for Disability, Accessibility, Neurodiversity and Caregiver Empowerment) employee resource group so that she had a space to be an ally and share her story to help others. In celebration of this month’s theme, “Different Than, Not Less Than,” Nicole says, “As a caregiver, I understand the importance of inviting all hands to the table. I try to bring my enthusiasm for the cause to turn ideas into realities so we can all grow.” 🫶
