To conclude Disability Pride Month, we’re rebroadcasting one of our most powerful conversations. Host Daniel Smrokowski sits down with his college friend Maria DiSabato in this encore episode of the Special Chronicles Podcast, recorded on location at Roosevelt University in Chicago.

Maria shares her lived experience with disability—exploring questions like:

• What does disability mean to you?

• What do you wish peers, professors, and classmates understood?

• Is disability a part of how you describe yourself?

• Do you feel there’s a stigma, and how can we break it?

• And why disability is truly another face of diversity.

This thoughtful and empowering dialogue offers fresh insights—and is the perfect conclusion to Disability Pride Month.
