As a disability rights advocate, she uses storytelling across various media platforms to share her own experiences and broadcast other people's stories to reveal how ableist attitudes, policies and practices marginalize people with disabilities.
Wong says, "The systemic ableism that I and millions of us face every day tells us that we don't matter, that our lives are too expensive and not worth saving... There's such diversity, joy and abundance in the lived disabled experience. We are multitudes."
Wong founded the Disability Visibility Project in 2014, which focuses on lifting up the voices of people with disabilities, sharing how their experiences are affected by their overlapping racial, ethnic and gender identities.
The project started as an oral history initiative where disabled people interviewed each other, but has now expanded to include a podcast, a blog, social media, arts projects and spaces for connection and community building.
