Overview: 

Jamie Shields is a vibrant advocate for disability rights, known for his engaging personality and insightful perspectives. In our recent podcast episode, Jamie shared his journey as a registered blind individual, emphasizing the importance of self-identification and the nuances of language within the disability community.

We also explored his organization, "Disabled by Society," which highlights the societal barriers that truly disable individuals rather than focusing solely on their disabilities. Jamie's colorful branding reflects his belief in breaking down these barriers and promoting open dialogue about disability. This episode serves as a warm-up for his upcoming keynote at our virtual conference, providing listeners with a taste of his wisdom and a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding disability in society.
