WNY resident’s #disabledandcute hashtag gets attention it deserves

We can't contain our excitement for Keah Brown of Lockport. She recently started a hashtag #disabledandcute that's now gone viral, but that's not the real reason we're proud of her. We are proud of her because she is awesome.

I only had a short while to chat with Brown, but I already know I like her. Brown is 25 years old and she suffers from cerebral palsy, however this disability does not define this amazing young lady. Like me, Brown loves to write. She’s a senior entertainment writer for Cliche Mag and she’s also written for Teen Vogue and espnW.

While these are amazing accomplishments, Brown had a difficult time with how she felt about herself and her disability until one day it hit her.

“I’m not really sure how it happened. I just woke up one day and felt good about myself,” she said.

So she took a few selfies and posted them on Twitter with the hashtag #disabledandcute.

“I just did it to celebrate myself and the way I felt attractive,” she said.

Little did she know, this hashtag would get national attention – even Cosmopolitan picked up the trend and wrote a story about Brown.

“I never thought it would get this big or big at all. I’m pleasantly surprised.”

And we’re pleasantly happy for you, Keah. Thank you for showing other women that we’re all beautiful in our own unique way.

PS – Maybe we can get her to write for Sweet Buffalo one day???
