*We had a little audio trouble for the last ten minutes of the episode, so the last ten minutes is little fuzzy. Our apologies! 

This episode's guest is Iman (she/her)! She is a huge online advocate for BIPOC disability voices as co founder of @amplifybipocdisabledvoices and her own account @alilbitofaith on instagram. She is also a beautiful dancer, artist and all around cute human. We chat about how it's difficult to navigate and learn about the upkeep of our ever changing bodies. Not to mention doing all this while fighting off other peoples ableist markers as what we should have accomplished in our adult lives. We swap stories and some much needed catharsis about eczema and much much more!
