Founder of advocacy organization Diversability and creator of the viral Anti-Ableism Series on TikTok, Tiffany Yu takes listeners on a revelatory examination of disability—how to unpack your biases and build a disability-inclusive and accessible world.
As the Asian American daughter of immigrants, living with PTSD and a permanent arm injury sustained at age nine, Tiffany Yu is well aware of the intersections of identity that affect us all. She navigated the male-dominated world of corporate finance as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs before founding Diversability, an award-winning community business run by disabled people building disability pride, power, and leadership.
Organized from the personal to the professional, the domestic to the political, the Me to the We to the Us, The Anti-Ableist Manifesto frames context for conversations, breaks down the language of ableism, identifies microaggressions, and proposes real actions that lead to genuine and authentic allyship.
- How do we remove ableist language from our daily vocabulary?
- How do we create inclusive events?
- What are the advantages of hiring disabled employees, and what market opportunity are we missing out on when we don’t consider disabled consumers?
With contributions from disability advocates, activists, authors, entrepreneurs, scholars, educators, and executives, Yu celebrates the power of stories and lived experiences to foster the proximity, intimacy, and humanity of disability identities that have far too often been “othered” and rendered invisible. The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is an essential book for going beyond mere awareness and becoming an active anti-ableist working form a more equitable society for all.

Critic reviews
"Tiffany Yu guides readers through a cross-disability exploration of ableism in a warm, easy-to-read style. Her book is a precious gift for new allies and experienced advocates alike."—Haben Girma, bestselling author of Haben: The Deafblind Woman Who Conquered Harvard Law
"Tiffany Yu's The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is a powerful journey, merging personal narratives with collective insights to confront and dismantle ableism. As someone deeply immersed in the study of prejudice, including the often-overlooked discrimination faced by people with disabilities, Yu delivers a timely and indispensable guide for our times."—Amy Cuddy, New York Times Bestselling Author of Presence
“It can be difficult to know how to respond to ableism when one encounters it in the wild, but Tiffany Yu's The Anti-Ableist Manifesto offers a timely, practical, and generous field guide. It's a clear, comprehensive, and accessible instruction manual for anyone who cares about disability (and, even more crucially, for those who don't).”—Andrew Leland, author of Pulitzer Prize-finalist The Country of the Blind

Yu’s writing is powerful, personal, and deeply reflective, offering a rare combination of vulnerability and expertise. She doesn’t shy away from confronting uncomfortable truths, yet she does so in a way that feels inviting rather than alienating. Her ability to connect personal experiences with broader systemic issues makes the book accessible while still being profoundly impactful.
What I loved most is how Yu doesn’t just tell readers what needs to change—she equips them with practical tools to create that change. Whether you’re an ally, an advocate, or someone seeking to better understand ableism, this manifesto serves as both a mirror and a map.
The book’s intersectional lens is particularly refreshing, reminding us that ableism doesn’t exist in isolation. Yu beautifully ties together threads of race, gender, class, and other identities, underscoring the importance of addressing ableism as part of a broader commitment to equity and justice.
For anyone committed to creating a world where dignity, accessibility, and belonging are non-negotiable, The Anti-Ableist Manifesto is essential reading. Tiffany Yu has given us a gift—a manifesto that not only challenges us but also inspires us to be better, do better, and build a better world.
Highly recommend!
