What is disability justice and how is it connected to everyday lived …
What is disability justice and how is it connected to everyday lived experiences? This piece was conceptualized through a disabled lens. Listeners are taken through each of my diagnoses as a way to exercise vulnerability, knowledge sharing, and connectivity. Disability justice is a political and social stance that intricately weaves together social identities and liberation with disability at the core. This work is important because all too often disabled people are pushed out of the spotlight and discouraged from acknowledging who we are. There was an intentional choice here to highlight the “unruly” body and mind that I have because it makes some people uncomfortable. I want folks to lean into the discomfort they might feel when discussing (or not discussing) disability.
