We Talk Functional Neurological Disorder

We talk Functional Neurological Disorder with Nieta Greene.

Nieta Greene, a dedicated advocate for inclusivity and a sense of belonging, serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. She also serves as a member of the Cambridge Commission for Persons with Disabilities. She has experienced various disabilities since childhood that influence her daily existence. Yet, she remains resilient and proud as a Disabled Puerto Rican, Black, gender non-conforming, gay woman who openly champions her identity. Nieta's work is rooted in core principles of disability justice, emphasizing intersectionality, community-led solutions, and political empowerment. Her steadfast confidence precludes the need for her to apologize for her authentic self, as she diligently advocates for those unable to voice their concerns. Her inspiring determination motivated her to establish Disability Community for Democracy, Inc., following the 2024 election cycle, recognizing the need to safeguard the rights of individuals within the disability community and to provide a platform for political engagement grounded in intersectional disability justice. Her leadership exemplifies a commitment to transforming systemic barriers into opportunities for collective liberation and equity.
