Every person has at least one story to tell from dealing with the past year. Sky Cubacub has several—including one of resilience.
Rebirth, like practically every other business, had to undergo transformations this past year. “At the beginning of the pandemic, I thought I’d have to close Rebirth, but I received the Disability Futures Fellowship and grants from the Ford Foundation, Andrew Mellon Foundation, and the United States Artists.”
Cubacub also spoke of how those who are financially disabled can be invisible/isolated: “Even though people can go to more events than in the past, you can only do that if you have access to a computer with really good Internet. So [this situation] shows the wealth gap even more. And unsheltered people have been having it very tough.”
