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.

In this week’s episode I am sitting down with German fashion designer Sema Gedik. Sema is the founder and CEO of AUF AUGENHOEHE. Launched in 2017, after conducting years of research and community building, AUF AUGENHOEHE is a fashion label for little people. We discuss the creation and growth of her fashion label, explain the differences between adaptive, accessible, and inclusive fashion, and why designing for disability cannot and should not be treated like a trend and so much more.
