For many people in the disabled community, placing faith in able-bodied people is not easy. People with disabilities are often overlooked and under-served, and their needs are regularly misunderstood. Elisa Neven-Pugh, a member of the community, firmly holds that minorities are missing out on connection and support if they push the majority away. In this episode, we talk about how challenging it is to relate to those who have a lighter load to carry and how each of our interactions with those who are more able reap their own results.
