I Can't Walk, I'm Not Dead

People are calling for asylums to re-debut as the mental health crisis surges and politicians still hate electronic voting. Also, disabled people can still be overweight and lazy but that doesn’t always have to be the case.

In this episode of I Can't Walk, I'm Not Dead, Zoë Nicole discusses the Body Positivity Movement's failed attempt at being body positive. With the plethora of safe body categories that are "allowed" to speak and the false equivalences to people with disabilities, it's no wonder less and less people are claiming to be body positive. Also, Mark Cuban's Cost + Drugs may be disrupting the pharmaceutical industry and creating a new outlook on how people buy their prescription medication. In "What's New?" the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is making rounds across news and social sites, but do readers understand what's in the bill? Tune in to hear an unbiased summary reading of H.R.5376 from congress' very own website. 

Join Zoë Nicole as she recalls the traumatic experience of being in an MLM and how the 2020 outbreak saved her life. This storytime details the events that led to her first stroke at the young age of 19 and the consequences that overwhelming stress can place on a body. Zoë will also be going over some of the many ways MLMs can take advantage of people with disabilities and what to look out for.
