Tara and I met back at momondays Guelph in 2018. She's an absolute marvel of a person, out to smash the barriers that stand in humanity's way. Her book, VisAble and Empowered, is her gift to the world. She's overcome some incredible obstacles, such as her high school when they shredded her university application. Her voice is one that advocates for all, especially those with disabilities. Our conversation ranged from the language of disabilities to self-advocacy, self-worth, and more. Plus we recorded it on her birthday! Thank you Tara for being part of this show. It was an honour.
