Jacqueline Cuevas

Board member for Disability Rights Michigan and Public Relations Chairperson for Self Advocates of Michigan

Jacqueline Cuevas is a community activist serving on the Board of Directors for Disability Rights Michigan and the Public Relations Chairperson for Self Advocates of Michigan. Jacqueline is a native of Southwest Detroit, mother of three, and business owner of Junction Party Store. Her experience as a disabled person with mental heath obstacles and a seizure disorder fuels her passion to invite others to redefine their lives, as she is doing, freeing themselves from the limitations that society imposes on them through labels, names, diagnoses, and expectations.

Jacqueline also shares her disability story through writing poems and daily affirmations. She encourages all to embrace their unique story, to empower each other, and to build a more inclusive and compassionate society.
