Kristin has been a freelance film critic for almost a decade. She predominantly writes for Awards Circuit, and is in charge of both their classic film and book columns. She is also the owner and operator of the premiere classic film site, Journeys in Classic Film. She has Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a rare disorder that is characterized by fragile bones that break easily. She lives in Sacramento and has two dogs. Listen in as we discuss a myriad of topics, but most importantly, we talk about horror films and how they intersect with disability culture. ​

In this first episode of POWER NOT PITY, we ask Zaynab Shahar, “Is God Inaccessible?”, and uncover the relationship between religion and disability. Zaynab was formerly a CrossCurrents Research Fellow at Auburn Seminary and is currently a doctoral candidate at Chicago Theological Seminary. She proclaims on Twitter: “embrace darkness & make me one with everything” and describes herself as: Black. polyamorous. queer. sufi witch. Unfriendly fat vegan. femme the@logian. philosopher, and writer. What she has to say is truly revelatory!
