Bridie McKim (Actor with Cerebral Palsy) | #87


Listen Later

You know you're going to have fun when your guests profile on Instagram reads "I'm not drunk, I have cerebral palsy"

Bridie McKim walks with a "swag" onto TV sets but walks away from it leaving an incredible body of work and changed perceptions of disability. A NIDA taught actor and advocate Bridie dreams to see disability become the norm on our screens and to even feel the absence of disability like we are starting to see in other minorities.

Born a triplet and the only of the three with disability, Bridie discusses the complexity of growing up alongside her able bodied brother and sister and the path she took to pursue a career in the arts.
