đź’™ Sometimes, one good question can get people thinking!

I've been reflecting on a wonderful experience at the Who’s Your Neighbor? event hosted by the Morgridge Center for Public Service at UW–Madison.

We explored what home, community, belonging, and feeling heard mean to each of us. I even had the opportunity to ask the students a question of my own:

💬 “What is your take on disability inclusion, and how do you connect with the disability community?”

It's a big question! The students had some good initial responses, but it also gave them something to think about.

As someone with a disability, a business owner through Transit2GO, an educator, and an advocate, I believe inclusion is about more than saying everyone is welcome. It's about listening to people with disabilities, building relationships, challenging assumptions, and making sure everyone has opportunities to participate and belong.

We don't have to know all the answers. We do have to be willing to ask questions, listen, and keep learning.

Thank you to the Morgridge Center for Public Service for bringing people together for meaningful conversations! đź’™

Wake-up call: not all disabilities are visible. 🌻

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (Oct 18-24). I have cerebral palsy, which looks different for everyone who has it, and I work every day. What people see is me showing up. What they don’t see is the care worker and job coach who make that possible.

Just because you can’t see the struggle doesn’t mean it isn’t real. Please believe people when they tell you what they need, and don’t judge by appearances. 💛

If this reached you, share it. Someone else needs to hear it.

What a joy performing with the Edgewood Chorale at today’s fall concert at the McKinley Performing Arts Center! 🎶

Under the direction of Deb Bordo, with Steve Radtke on piano, we sang Big Sky, Does the World Say?, and The Rhythm of Life. It was wonderful to share the program with the Edgewood Chamber Singers and the Guitar Ensemble too.

I love being part of inclusive adult activities where everyone can take part, and this group is a great example of what community looks like. đź’›

Coming up at Music@Edgewood: the Chamber Orchestra on Sunday, October 25 at 2:00 PM, and the 98th Annual Christmas Concert on Saturday, December 5 at 7:00 PM, with the orchestra and more! 🎻🎸

Without Driving Week is wrapping up, and I spent it walking to my advocacy stops. 🚶‍♀️
I’m also honored to be featured as a Community Champion by the Community Transportation Academy! As a 2026 CTA graduate, I’ve been using my voice to connect two things I care deeply about: reliable transportation and access to employment.
That’s the heart of my Cap Times piece on DVR and Medicaid funding. I have cerebral palsy, and my personal care worker and job coach are what make my work possible. I call it the banana bread problem: you can be one ingredient short and it still comes out fine, but take one more thing away and it collapses. 🍌
It’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Protect the supports that let us work. 💛

As Without Driving Week wraps up, I chose to take part by walking to my advocacy stops instead of driving. It was a good reminder of how much access depends on transportation, and how many people navigate that every day.

I also used the week to share my feature in the Cap Times about DVR and Medicaid funding. I'm a person with cerebral palsy who works in schools and the community, and my personal care worker and job coach are what make that possible. I call it the banana bread problem: you can be one ingredient short and it still comes out fine, but take one more thing away and it collapses.

October is also National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Employment supports like DVR and Medicaid aren't extras. They're what let people with disabilities work, contribute, and stay part of our communities.

If you care about this, please share it, and tell your lawmakers that disability funding should be protected, not cut. đź’›

I'm a 2009 Watertown High School grad, and I remember arts programs that welcomed every student. So I'm worried about what's happening now.

In May, a band piece tied to LGBTQ+ history was pulled from the spring concert a week before the show. Now the spring musical has been replaced, even though the superintendent says the director and principal did nothing wrong and he hasn't seen the film.

Students deserve a clear, fair process for decisions like these, made with the people who know the work best.

My letter ran in the Watertown Daily Times: https://www.wdtimes.com/voice_of_people/voice-of-the-people-tessmann/article_e5a3782b-4be7-4df1-9247-61cd034f9d07.html
If you care about arts education in Watertown, write to the school board or speak at the next meeting.

Congressman Mark Pocan and I holding up yesterday's Cap Times front page today — a moment I won't forget.

What started as a quick conversation at a community event turned into a real seat at the table to talk about disability policy: Medicaid and DVR funding, the transportation gap that affects whether people with disabilities can get to work, and why protecting what's already working matters so much right now.

I brought him a physical copy of the paper featuring "Waiting to Work" — over 7,600 Wisconsinites with disabilities are currently sitting on a state DVR waitlist for job assistance.

As the founder of Transit2GO and Co-Chair of the Waisman Center's Consumer Advisory Committee, this is exactly the kind of advocacy I hope to keep doing. Thank you to Congressman Pocan and his team for the time and the conversation — following up with staff soon to keep this moving.

Crossed the finish line at the Waisman Whirl 5k this morning — 3.28 miles in 1:17! A new personal best for me.
Started the week with my doctor telling me to move more, and somehow that turned into a full week of chasing this goal — ending with today. Grateful for the sunshine, the medal, and everyone who came out to celebrate.
This race means more than just my own PR, though. The Waisman Whirl is family-friendly and open to individuals of all abilities, with every route wheelchair accessible and a Kids' Fun Run through the Discovery Garden. It's held right at the Waisman Center, and proceeds support their clinics, research, and outreach for families affected by developmental disabilities and neurodegenerative diseases — autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, Parkinson's, ALS, and more.
Proud to have been part of something that gives back this much. Next stop: keep building toward race day, one consistent week at a time.

I’m excited to share this! 💙

The Cap Times published an opinion piece by Natalie Eilbert about Wisconsin’s Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) waitlist and the impact that delayed employment services can have on people with disabilities.

I was honored to share part of my own story for the article.

DVR has been part of my journey for many years. From helping me transition out of high school and pursue college, to helping me develop my self-employment through Transit2Go, DVR has played an important role in helping me build an independent life and career.

And now, in a full-circle moment, Transit2Go is a DVR vendor, allowing me to use the skills I gained through my own experience to help other people with disabilities navigate public transportation.

That’s why this issue matters to me. Employment services can be the difference between having an opportunity and actually being able to pursue it.

Thank you, Natalie, for listening to my story and including my perspective in this piece. And thank you for linking to the Transit2Go website!

I’m proud to share this story, and I’ll keep advocating for disability employment, transportation, independent living, and the services people need to participate fully in their communities.

Advocacy never stops.

On August 31, the DOJ — on behalf of HHS — joined Texas, Florida, and Alaska in asking a federal court to strip community integration protections from Section 504 regulations. This is the same legal foundation that supports HCBS and independent living for people like me.
To be clear: this can't change the underlying law. Only Congress can do that. But it's a signal, and signals matter. I already raised this directly with Senator Baldwin's office, and I'll be bringing it to Rep. Pocan's office as well.
