Tiffany Hammond is the creator and voice behind Fidgets and Fries. She is Black woman with  Autism, a mother to two boys with autism, an advocate, and a storyteller.  Tiffany uses her personal experiences with Autism and parenting her two boys to guide others on their journey. Her activism is rooted in challenging the current perception of Autism as a lifelong burden, cultivating a community that explores the concept of Intersectionality, challenges dominant culture thinking on matters of race, and inspiring thought leaders through storytelling, education, and critical discourse. 

In the conversation today, we hear how Tiffany’s community online came to be, and how she uses this space to share stories that encourage true feeling and response from her readers. Tiffany shares the backstory to Fidgets and Fries, and how her online community has had her back as her platform grows.  We also hear about how and why writing while angry has a true purpose and message that should not be dismissed or ignored, but accepted, appreciated and honored.
