We’re excited to highlight Tiffany A. Yu, MSc. for our May #VSgetsLit Book Club Giveaway.

Throughout the month of May, we will be giving away a total of four FREE copies of her book, *The Anti-Ableist Manifesto*. Read on for more information about how you could win one of them! Stay tuned to our social media (@VanguardSTEM on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn) for details or find additional giveaway details below.

Tiffany A. Yu is a champion of intersectional disability representation. In her own words she is a “multi-hyphenate disability advocate, entrepreneur, and content creator.” After a car accident at age nine left her arm paralyzed, she now builds the resources and visibility she wished had existed for her growing up. She stepped away from a career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs to be a leading changemaker in the disability advocacy space.

Tiffany is the CEO and Founder of Diversability, a community business of 80k+ members on a mission to elevate disability pride, build disability power, and advance disability leadership. In addition, she also hosts the TIFFANY & YU podcast where she explores all things social impact. At the core of her work is the “Me, We, Us” framework — which ignites change by starting with individual (Me) reflection, moving to community (We) action, and implementing systemic (Us) societal changes. It’s a call beyond mere awareness to one with actionable steps to help build a disability-inclusive world.
