Please Fill Out the Listener Survey!  

Today, I’m joined by my eldest daughter, Allegra Thelemaque. Allegra is a visual artist and writer. An enormous fan of acting, singing, and other performances, she's also an avid reader and movie watcher. Allegra was born with congenital myotonic dystrophy, a genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness. We talk about some of the creative work that she's done to come to terms with the idea of having a disability, including her latest zine, How The World Sees Disability. 

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox, or on your favorite podcast platform.
