A Conversation with Disability Advocate Dr. Jeff Preston: Living with Muscular Dystrophy, Embracing Your Differences, & Changing the Societal Perception of Disability
In today's episode, I chat with Dr. Jeff Preston, an assistant professor of disability studies at KIng's College and a disability advocate. After being diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy & being confined to a wheelchair for most of his life, Jeff has learned to view what others consider a disadvantage as his own advantage.
If you're struggling with feeling isolated by your differences, this is the episode for you. Jeff dismantles the societal idea of "normal," explains how he's been able to find the positivity in his disability, and emphasizes the value in being different.
