Celebration not Accomodation with Ramandeep Kaur | S4 | E26

Happy 100 Episodes of The Skies We’re Under!

At The Skies We’re Under we want our families to be celebrated, not accommodated. In this special episode of the Skies we’re Under we continue to explore our theme of community, and question what happens when inclusivity is eroded, either within our existing communities, or within the disability community itself.

To discuss this important subject, Rachel is joined by the wonderful Ramandeep Kaur. Ramandeep reflects on her own experiences within her ethnic community, how that changed when her son with Down Syndrome was born without the fanfare she had come to expect.

Rachel and Ramandeep cover it all, what does inclusivity actually look like, where do you go when you lose connection with community, what do you do when you don’t see people ‘like your family’ in the places that you go to for connection and support. 

It's full of reflection, and hope, and humour. There is also the usual chat from Sarah and Lucy, who are both adamant that all aspects of motherhood should be celebrated.

You can find out more about Ramandeep at her website.
