July is Disability Pride Month.

Hi, I’m Abby, the face behind Vintagely Chronic. With my family’s help, I am able to successfully run this business as a disabled entrepreneur. My dream for Vintagely Chronic was born when I noticed a lack of truly accessible vintage clothing businesses. I have a strong passion for sustainability and believe that everyone regardless of size, gender, and ability should have access to fashionable and sustainable clothing!

Disability Pride Month means so much to me. It represents joy in the face of an inaccessible society and the continued fight to be seen as equal. It has taken me a long time to be proud of my disabled body, even though it isn't always easy. With that being said, Vintagely Chronic would not exist without my disability. It has instilled a passion for making sure everyone is included to the best of my ability. Having been the person who isn’t represented and whose inclusion is an afterthought, I want Vintagely Chronic to be a space where everyone feels seen.

Everything from our name to the colors in our logo is based on disability pride. The colors are from the disability pride flag created by Ann Magil. Each color represents a different type of disability. We also use the universal sign of disability in our logo. I am always trying to make our online content as accessible as possible with image descriptions, captions, etc. It is also super important to us that our booths at markets are physically accessible as well.

As a disabled entrepreneur and content creator, it can be hard to be seen. I want to say thank you to everyone who has taken a chance on me and made an effort to make vintage spaces accessible. It truly means more than you know! You can help me grow my business and help me be seen by sharing this post, liking and sharing my content, and by shopping with us at local markets and pop-up events. My long-term goal is to have an accessible vintage storefront that’s a safe and supportive space for all.
