July is Disability Pride Month!
Disability Pride Month honors the history, achievements, and lived experiences of people with disabilities while commemorating the 1990 signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It promotes visibility, challenges ableism, and fosters pride in the disability community.
About Kohl’s diverseAbilities BRG Disability Pride Month Project:
Emma Rarick led the company-wide art direction and creative production for Disability Pride Month (June–July 2026). She developed and executed the visual concept for the BRG celebration space at Kohl’s corporate headquarters.
In addition to directing the overall creative vision, she initiated and managed a team of artists—reviewing art direction, providing feedback, and delegating responsibilities—to collaboratively produce a series of Disability Pride themed coloring pages. Her leadership reflects a strong ability to guide creative teams while maintaining a cohesive and impactful visual narrative.
Continued Disability Pride Illustrations
Emma Rarick made one illustration a day celebrating her disability pride in her Continued Disability Pride Illustrations project. This was not in collaboration with Kohl’s, but was inspired by her collaboration work she completed earlier this year with them.
