In this week’s episode I sat down with Elizabeth Jameson. Elizabeth is an artist and writer who explores what it means to live in an imperfect body as part of the universal human experience. Her essays have been published by The New York Times, British Medical Journal, WIRED magazine, and MIT’s Leonardo Journal and she was included in The New York Times book About Us. We reflect on our own past ignorance regarding what disability is, define what it means for us to be always looking up, and discuss seeing disability as and turning it into something beautiful.

We discussed why certain disabled stories will go viral on social media, and yet be ignored by traditional news outlets, the fact that the disabled community is often either dehumanized or infantilized by the media, what it means to approach the news from an activism lens, and highlight some recent disability stories that you may not have heard your favorite news anchor cover.
