About this listen

Founder of advocacy organization Diversability and creator of the viral Anti-Ableism Series on TikTok, Tiffany Yu takes listeners on a revelatory examination of disability—how to unpack your biases and build a disability-inclusive and accessible world.

As the Asian American daughter of immigrants, living with PTSD and a permanent arm injury sustained at age nine, Tiffany Yu is well aware of the intersections of identity that affect us all. She navigated the male-dominated world of corporate finance as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs before founding Diversability, an award-winning community business run by disabled people building disability pride, power, and leadership.

Organized from the personal to the professional, the domestic to the political, the Me to the We to the Us, The Anti-Ableist Manifesto frames context for conversations, breaks down the language of ableism, identifies microaggressions, and proposes real actions that lead to genuine and authentic allyship.

  • How do we remove ableist language from our daily vocabulary?
  • How do we create inclusive events?
  • What are the advantages of hiring disabled employees, and what market opportunity are we missing out on when we don’t consider disabled consumers?

With contributions from disability advocates, activists, authors, entrepreneurs, scholars, educators, and executives, Yu celebrates the power of stories and lived experiences to foster the proximity, intimacy, and humanity of disability identities that have far too often been “othered” and rendered invisible. The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is an essential book for going beyond mere awareness and becoming an active anti-ableist working form a more equitable society for all.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What the critics say

"Tiffany Yu guides readers through a cross-disability exploration of ableism in a warm, easy-to-read style. Her book is a precious gift for new allies and experienced advocates alike."—Haben Girma, bestselling author of Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law

"Tiffany Yu's The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is a powerful journey, merging personal narratives with collective insights to confront and dismantle ableism. As someone deeply immersed in the study of prejudice, including the often-overlooked discrimination faced by people with disabilities, Yu delivers a timely and indispensable guide for our times."—Amy Cuddy, New York Times Bestselling Author of Presence

“It can be difficult to know how to respond to ableism when one encounters it in the wild, but Tiffany Yu's The Anti-Ableist Manifesto offers a timely, practical, and generous field guide. It's a clear, comprehensive, and accessible instruction manual for anyone who cares about disability (and, even more crucially, for those who don't).”—Andrew Leland, author of Pulitzer Prize-finalist The Country of the Blind

For anyone interested in creating better inclusivity

I loved listening to Tiffany read her book, she asked questions that allowed me to look within and understand my own ableist thoughts even though I have a disability. She had many poignant ideas on how to navigate anti-ableism from the corporate world. I was able to divulged when to call out and call in. I also learned to navigate leaning on or softening my own advocacy. It’s a must read!

Excellent

Excellent introduction to disability, ableism, and anti-ableism. Would be a fantastic resource for intermediate and secondary school classes studying social justice issues. An accessible, engaging and comprehensive read.
