In this week’s episode I sat down with Sami Sage. Sami is the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Betches Media - a female-founded and led media and entertainment brand that provides a space for all women to get real about life and is funny, honest, and unfiltered. We discuss how Governor Ron Desantis’s efforts to eliminate DEI initiatives will impact the disabled and other marginalized communities, why disabled stories, or the impact political decisions have on the disabled community aren’t often covered in the media landscape, how mental health fits into the disability rights movement and conversations, disability representation in scripted and reality-based content, and much, much more.

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.
