The Mama Sisterhood

Episode 77 - Abbey's Story - A Genetic Disorder, The Power of Inclusion, & The Joy of Dance


Listen Later

It was such a pleasure chatting with Abbey Benjamin today. Abby is mama to two children and her daughter, Avery, has a rare genetic disease that led to their family life being different than anticipated. Notice I said different, though, and not one bit less because Abbey makes sure that Avery has the opportunity to go out and live an amazing life filled with trips, adventures, and very importantly, dance class. Abbey shares about how she learned about the importance of inclusion from adults with disabilities and how this changed how she advocated for her daughter. So many good lessons in this one and you just can't help but feel happy when you see Avery's big smile on social media. It was such an honor to learn about this amazing family!
