108. the wound that never heals: our discrimination stories


Listen Later

hi hello hey, and brace yourselves for some disabiliTEA.

Discrimination is a topic we wish we didn’t have so much experience with, but it’s an unavoidable reality we face as disabled women. On this episode, we’re diving into some of the most frustrating and heartbreaking situations we’ve endured.

From being denied rideshare services because of a guide dog to shocking moments in our professional lives, we’re sharing stories that highlight just how far we still have to go toward accessibility and inclusion. And if you think you’ve heard it all, we’re even dropping a couple of never-before-shared bombshells.

We touched on discrimination in our job-related episode some time back and a few months ago when we shared the painful details of our experience at Disneyland. This episode builds on that conversation; discrimination isn’t just a one-time event—it leaves a lasting impact.

Listen to this episode to hear our stories, reflect on the broader issues, and be reminded why advocacy matters.
