Grad Story: Isabelle from UNC

Isabelle is a white woman with Down syndrome. She sits in a chair wearing a pink cardigan. She smiles and holds up the picture  book "My Friend Isabelle."

Meet UNC GOAL graduate, Isabelle. Isabelle studied Communications at UNC, where she graduated in 2021. Isabelle lives independently, works, and is even travelling the country to promote a picture book about inclusion!

Like most college students, Isabelle describes her time on campus as "challenging" with "ups and downs." Inspiringly, she says she "flourished to the end and it was really great!" She hopes "to create new milestones" in her post-grad life. You can hear Isabelle tell more of her story here.

We are so proud of all the ways Isabelle advocates for inclusionshe proves that people with ID can do anything! You can check out her picture book, My Friend Isabelle, on Amazon.
