Join us for an enlightening conversation with Alexa and Jacqueline Child, the dynamic duo behind Dateability, a revolutionary dating app designed to empower the disabled and chronically ill communities. Founded by sisters, Jacqueline's personal experience with discrimination and hurtful comments on mainstream dating apps due to her disability ignited a spark within them to create a platform that champions inclusivity and understanding.

In this podcast episode, we delve into Jacqueline and Alexa's journey, exploring the challenges they faced in the dating world and the inspiration behind Dateability. Jacqueline shares her firsthand encounters with discrimination and offensive behavior on traditional dating platforms, highlighting the urgent need for a space where individuals with disabilities can connect authentically without fear of judgment.

Through their shared vision, Jacqueline and Alexa are on a mission to revolutionize the social experiences of a population that has long been overlooked and marginalized. With Dateability, they're not just building a dating app; they're fostering a supportive community where everyone's unique journey is celebrated.

Tune in as we discuss the values driving Dateability, the obstacles they've overcome, and their dedication to making it the premier platform for the disabled and chronically ill communities.
