Formerly Cripple Magazine. 

Cripple Media is the award-winning authority on what disability means today and tomorrow. From in-depth reporting on the fight for disability rights to conversations with the artists, athletes, and creators shaping what comes next, we are where disability and culture meet.

I founded Cripple Media in 2018, at 15, with a simple goal: for disability to be seen as an identity, not a medical category. Eight years later, that conviction has become one of the most-read disability platforms in the world.

Cripple Media is independently owned and operated. We believe disabled creatives deserve to be paid for their work — and that independent journalism is only possible with the support of readers who believe in it. If that’s you, you can support us here.

The conversation around disability is changing — in culture, in media, and in the world. We intend to be at the center of it. Follow us, read us, and stay tuned for everything that’s coming next.
