The Skies We’re Under

We are better together, whatever Skies We’re Under.

Join Rachel and Sarah for Episode 8 of ‘The Skies We’re Under’ podcast as they do the best they can until they know better (Maya Angelou). They are joined this week by Shurron Rosales, who reflects on ableism, and the ways she has worked through the trauma of her past experiences, at the same time as becoming a better ally for her child and other disabled people.
See Shurron's list of disabled influencers at the bottom of these show notes.*
We also have a caller with a question for Rachel and Sarah…
