Catarina Rivera (Blindish Latina)
Cathy interviews Catarina Rivera, public speaker and disability and education inclusion advocate. Catarina, who has retinitis pigmentosa, has worn hearing aids from a young age and was diagnosed with a progressive vision disability at 17 years old. Paige, Jenny, and Cathy consider how knowing what is available and having a choice about it is both inclusion and self-care. They consider the positive impact of considering your strengths and how accidental accessibility makes life easier.
