A few weeks ago, I posted about a young woman with a disability, Collette Divitto, who had created a baking business with the help of her family. My ever-alert and long-term roommate, Pat, then sent me info about a similar business venture by Jordyn Moore. Ms. Moore’s company (at “Be Kind to Everyone”) sells t-shirts with cool designs and smart messages.
I ordered a shirt. Thursday, I got it. Today I am posting photos of it, including me (in my February 2023 incarnation) sporting the version that I received.

Ms. Moore’s company has an extensive stock of products. Readers can also learn about the project by reviewing media from a couple of Atlanta (GA, US) news organizations’ coverage of the business (11Alive.com, Fox5Atlanta.com) and O’Charlie’s Restaurant’s promotion of the products.
Advocacy comes in many forms. Some advocates promote particular ways of teaching. Some use legal means to encourage policies that they think are critical for success. Other advocates advance what they argue will provide access to services. Lots of advocacy.
Some, like the families of Ms. Moore and Ms. Divitto, simply solve the potential problems of their children’s futures by helping them create businesses that can sustain those children during the children’s adult lives. I’ll return to illustrations of these efforts. I have other similar stories to tell.
If readers know of similar stories (around the world, especially), please note them in the comments (or write to me).
If you like to see the day-to-day action of Jordyn, her mom, and her t-shirt shop, you can watch on TikTok. I've been following them for about two years now. https://www.tiktok.com/@summershirtproject?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc
In my household, we have quite a collection of John’s Crazy Socks. My son is a big fan! https://johnscrazysocks.com/pages/our-story
