Overview
Keah Brown loves herself, but that hadnāt always been the case. Born with cerebral palsy, her greatest desire used to be normalcy and refuge from the steady stream of self-hate society strengthened inside her. But after years of introspection and reaching out to others in her community, she has reclaimed herself and changed her perspective.
In The Pretty One, Brown gives a contemporary and relatable voice to the disabledāso often portrayed as mute, weak, or isolated. With clear, fresh, and light-hearted prose, these essays explore everything from her relationship with her able-bodied identical twin (called āthe pretty oneā by friends) to navigating romance; her deep affinity for all things pop cultureāand her disappointment with the mediaās distorted view of disability; and her declaration of self-love with the viral hashtag #DisabledAndCute.
By āsmashing stigmas, empowering her community, and celebrating herselfā (Teen Vogue), Brown and The Pretty One aims to expand the conversation about disability and inspire self-love for people of all backgrounds.
