Erica Stearns examines how ableism, social inequalities, and resource disparities impact people with disabilities.

Our last few guests on Atypical Truth touched on subjects like resource disparity, advocacy, and social inequalities. I feel very passionate about these topics and could discuss them at length. But it is different from talking about these subjects with my friends as opposed to on air and in such a public manner. I am not a public speaker, and I constantly live with the fear of saying something wrong. Still, these topics are more important than my fears, and I feel like now is the time to use this platform to educate and hopefully encourage everyone listening to feel as passionately about these issues as I do.
