You’re using your carefully allotted spoons to get ready for a first date. You survey your closet. Jeans or bloatproof joggers, which do you go for? In today’s episode, Keisha Greaves, a disability fashion designer, podcaster, motivational speaker, and founder of Girls Chronically Rock, an inspired, and soon to be adaptive, fashion line celebrating Muscular Dystrophy and other chronic illnesses, answers the hard hitting questions. How do your clothes affect how you feel on first dates? Why is adaptive fashion important? And what statements should your shirts be making other than advertising bands you’ve never heard of? Tune in to hear Keisha & Noa discuss GCR's black disabled lives matter line and the importance of intersectionality within the disability community. Listen as Keisha, who lives with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, shares how she has navigated dating with a progressive disease: from finding adaptive shirts that give her independence, to her feelings about having personal care attendants come to dates with her, to making asking for help on dates flirty.

Key Quotes from Keisha:  

“we just want to look fashionable and of course fabulous. But we just want to have certain functions on our clothing that make us get dressed easier and not make us feel like we just finished running the Boston marathon” 

“Take your time, feel them out, feel the energy”
