This week on Hold Up, Let Me Call My Sis, LaMia Radiant and T Jamaica Pogue kick things off by catching up on life before diving deep into the way society views disability - reflecting on how hard it is to juggle work, family, and everything in between before the conversation shifts into a powerful discussion about disability models:
The medical model, which places blame on the individual
The social model, which recognizes how society disables people by refusing to accommodate differences

Together, LaMia and T explore how accommodations benefit everyone (not just disabled people), why conformity is rewarded over creativity, and how eugenics continues to shape the way we view autism and disability today.

It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s about to be very systemic.

Sound Bites:

• “It’s a systemic thing.”

• “Curiosity is key.”

• “It’s about to be real.”
