Hey, welcome to an episode of Crippled by Culture, where we talk about everything in life and relate it to the disability and chronically ill community. My name is Sean Gold and I am an author, advocate, and nonverbal public speaker for the disability community.

Today I would like to thank Yuri Velez for being my voice in this episode. In this episode, we are talking about the intersections of disability representation, inclusion, and accessibility in the music industry.
