In this week’s episode I sat down with Dr. Rose Perry. Rose, a self-described sociologist turned social innovator, is an applied research scientist with a Ph.D. in neuroscience & physiology. She is the founder and executive director of Social Creatures, a nonprofit social innovation and research organization on a mission to ensure that any individual can socially connect with others, and co-founder of Historicons, a toys and games company that celebrates diversity by using historical events and icons to represent, educate, and empower kids. We discuss how being disabled influenced her work, who should bear the responsibility of teaching kids at an early age about how to interact with someone who is different, and the social connections and relationships between non-disabled and disabled people and those within the disability community itself.

In this week’s episode I sat down with Haleigh Rosa. Haleigh is a disability model, advocate, and founder of the foreveryone.foundation.

We discuss the differences between being uneducated and being ignorant, how she and the disability community responded to what Candace Owens had to say, and why disability representation matters, why it is everything.
