(Ep 24) Anti-Ableism Advocacy in Appalachia: Interview w/ Trevor Gates (WNC)


Listen Later

In today's episode I chat with my long-time friend, neighbor, & co-conspirator -- Trevor Gates. Trevor is a visually-impaired/blind Appalachian, an aspiring therapist, and an incredible advocate for disability justice & deconstructing ableism in Appalachia and beyond. Our conversation touches on everything from Trevor's personal experiences in advocacy, to the recent election results, the concept of the curb-cut effect, and of course there's so much more.
