#SpecialAdvisorDisability Minkara and Secretary Antony Blinken held a townhall on how Department of State can advance disability rights across our foreign policy work. Disability inclusion’s a shared responsibility, and when we make society accessible to persons with disabilities, everyone benefits.

When we incorporate the needs and the insights of people with disabilities, we all benefit from their talents, their expertise, and their leadership. That's why Department of State is working to incorporate disability inclusion and perspectives into every aspect of our foreign policy.

Worldwide, persons with disabilities are seen as “an acceptable loss” and are not fully included in emergency management efforts. Persons with disabilities can live on the frontlines of crisis and must be central to crisis response and recovery. #IDPD2024

If you can cure your disability, you are delusional if you don’t.” “Being blind is a problem—for me.” Yes, people still think this in 2025. That’s why my TEDx talk still matters. Disability is identity, value, leadership. 🎥 youtu.be/TtJqfmT-r9o 🔗 saraminkara.com

Spoke this morning on disability-inclusive peacebuilding. Only 8% of local emergency plans include persons with disabilities, leading to 2–4x higher mortality. Disability inclusive peacebuilding isn't charity, it's strategy. Grateful to CSIS

Why is universal design still not a mainstream principle in education? Why is disability still an afterthought—when it adds value? This morning, I spoke about shifting the narrative: Disability is a driver of innovation, resilience, and progress. 🔗 lnkd.in/emjWNaiS

Blindness is not something I need to be saved from. It’s a part of who I am—and it has shaped the way I lead, solve problems, and engage with the world. I’m excited to share my latest op-ed in Zeteo, please read and share: zeteo.com/p/i-dont-need-… Zeteo

So proud of my friend Eliza Reid on her new bestseller Death on the Island! From First Lady of Iceland to champion of women’s leadership, she tells stories with heart and purpose. “Use your voice, don’t lose your identity.” Wise words that we echo during In the Dark.
