In this week’s episode I welcomed back Bri Scalesse. Bri is a wheelchair user, model, influencer, and advocate. This episode was recorded right after New York Fashion Week ended where Bri wheeled the runways in three shows and absolutely slayed like the true queen she is. We discuss the disability hierarchy and what it means to have the wheelchair user be the icon for the disabled community, what disability representation looked like at this year’s New York Fashion Week and the need for greater representation both on the runways and in the audience, examine what it means to be truly inclusive as a brand or a designer, and so much more.
