Identity encompasses many different aspects of our being–Our “ability” status for some of us is front and center, while for others is not visible. In this episode of Flesh 'N Bold, Drs. Heard & Heard- Garris discuss what disabilities are, how abilities and disabilities are talked about in the present day, and the ableist language all around us. This Flesh & Bold, so you know they are talking about the kyriarchy– how do systems impact these identities and also overlapping/intersecting identities are oppressed. How we can stop dissing people with disabilities? Let's dive in and see if how you can grow in this space, change your language, and perhaps your world. Like, share, and discuss!Producers: Nevin J.
