249. One Million Reasons To Celebrate….The Lucky Few Podcast LIVE!


Listen Later

For nearly 250 episodes we’ve had educational, encouraging, and meaningful conversations amplifying voices and shifting narratives for individuals with Down syndrome. Over the last 6 years, we’ve tackled topics on education, health & wellness, accessibility, stereotypes, legal rights, media representation, advocacy, and so much more! We were even recognized with the 2023 Media Award at the National Down Syndrome Congress Convention! We’ve had so many great moments but the best part of this podcast is being part of this one-in-a-million community!

March 8th we got to celebrate LIVE in San Diego, California! It was so special getting to meet our listeners, play some trivia, chat about the many ways we’ve learned, advocated, and celebrated over the last six years, and have a special guest share their good news!! 

On March 14, 2024, we marked our MILLIONTH DOWNLOAD, we’re so grateful to every one of you, for listening, sharing, and being part of The Lucky Few community.  We look forward to a million more laughs and reasons to learn, advocate, and celebrate alongside this incredible community. Thanks for your support narrative shifters, cheers to a million more!!!
