July is Disability Pride Month!

What’s Disability Pride Month you might be wondering? This is a month of celebrating those with disabilities both physical and mental, educating ourselves on how we can be better allies and creating more accessibility in our environment.

At UnVale we have many folks from different walks of life and different capabilities. From physical to mental disabilities we all work together to create the best working environment possible for our team and work hard to reflect that back to all of you!

Look below to see how we're celebrating this month!

Introducing the UnVale Accessibility Committee(UAC)!

The Accessibility Committee will be a volunteer group of community members that are willing to provide feedback on UnVale’s accessibility. They’ll be able to speak directly with staff on how we can better improve or even suggest ideas for future ideas to make our platform a much easier place to navigate for all!

Does this sound like something that would interest you? Apply here!

Featuring Creators and their OCs!

During the remainder of this month, every Friday we’ll be featuring 5 OCs on our socials straight from our #Disabled tag where we’ll be showing appreciation to those creating OCs with all different sorts of capabilities!

If you want a chance for your Disabled OCs to be featured, make sure you OC page is tagged correctly by putting the #Disabled tag on your OC page.

All OCs will be credited with the creator's UnVale page!

Another gift for you: Profile Banner and Frames!

Finally, we would like to give our community a banner and icon frame that they can proudly display on their profiles either as someone who’s disabled or a supportive ally! Frames and banner created by Secxen!
