Episode 17: Dissing My Ability w/guest April Alexander Part 1 E17 S1

Living with disability can be hard. People living with disability need to do all the same things as people who do not have disabilities, but must figure out a different way to do them. Dissing My Ability podcast is about helping removing shame, feelings of "otherness," and of feeling alone in disability. Every week guests share in how disability has affected their life, the ups and downs. But more importantly, we focus on how individuals living with disability are rock-stars, and how their disability can be their superpower. Dissing My Ability Podcast is hosted by Ken Meeker.
