Shelby Holloway On October Being A DAM Good Month

In this week’s episode, in honor of October being Dwarfism Awareness Month and tomorrow being International Dwarfism Awareness Day I welcomed back Shelby Holloway. Shelby is a content creator on TikTok and one of my best friends, practically a big sister, in the little person community. We discuss how the disabled and non-disabled communities see the little person community, the difference between advocating for awareness vs. advocating for acceptance, and how being a little person in an average-height world can often feel very isolating and the importance of the little person community.

To start I would like to issue a trigger warning. This episode talks about death, grieving, and mourning. If these are triggers for you, please feel free to skip this episode.

In this week’s episode I welcomed back Zane Landin. Zane is a mental health and disability advocate, queer rights activist, entrepreneur, and positive change maker who identifies as Hispanic, Queer, and Disbaled. He is the founder of Positive Vibes Magazine, which is a digital magazine dedicated to telling authentic stories about mental health, wellness, and inspiration. After sharing our individual stories with grief we discuss how being in a state of grief can be disabling, the misconceptions about what grief is and how it affects someone, and how grief, like disability, is a very individual experience.
