Image description: Illustration of two people on their way to work, one of them is holding a laptop and bag, the other is using a rollator to walk. In the background is a roller coaster showing their journey to get to work. The ride is titled: Road to Work: DIY Disability Edition.

There are parts of the roller coaster that are broken, unfinished and being repaired by people with text on them that say- fighting back, role models.
