hi hello hey, sometimes we can’t see things… and maybe that’s okay?

Like most of our episodes, this topic was inspired by something in our real lives – in this case, a fantastic interview with Camryn Yule (YouTube), a person with albinism who was in Wicked! No spoilers, but Camryn talks about the need to “read the room” and be discerning about when to request accommodations, and when to let it go, to not hold up production in a fast-paced environment. This sentiment really resonated with us, and we knew we had to deconstruct it on the pod.

Before you get worried that we’re not advocating for ourselves, we’re not recommending putting advocacy aside! We’ve talked about making sure you have what you need and disclosing in a variety of episodes, including:

Instead of talking about times we haven’t advocated for our needs, we focus on the situations it’s absolutely necessary to make your voice heard, and say that anything beyond the necessary is up to your discretion. Sometimes, it’s okay not to see every little thing if the disruption of having your needs met doesn’t outweigh the benefit you get from seeing.

Do you agree with us? Let us know what times are non-negotiable or completely skippable!
