To start I would like to issue a trigger warning. In this episode myself and my guests talk about sexual harassment and sexual assault. If these are triggers for you, please feel free to skip this episode.
This episode was recorded less than 24 hours after Justice Alito’s draft opinion indicating the Court was going to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked by Politico. I sat down with Rebecca Cokley, a program officer at the Ford Foundation, and Bekah Bailey, a disability rights advocate, to talk about how we feel in the moment, how this decision impacts the little person community, and the ways in which the community can and should step up to support its members.

Sid Marcos On How Much A Disabled Life Is Worth
May 16, 2022
•70m
In this week’s episode I sat down with Sid Marcos. Sid is a disabled writer, producer, and business developer who I met last summer while she was working on her documentary film about this generation of disability rights activists. We discuss the disability hierarchy, cultural differences and barriers between those who were born disabled and those who acquired their disability later in life, and how society values the lives of disabled individuals.
