“The first three questions I get asked: What happened to your legs? Do you drive a car? How do you go to the bathroom?” Imagine not being asked your name first before getting asked if you had a penis! Welcome to the world of Spencer West and we are just glad to be a part of it.

Spencer is an American motivational speaker and disability advocate who became an amputee after being born with sacral agenesis. Dylan Alcott and Angus O’Loughlin talk about overcoming adversity and how Spencer uses social media to advocate for the disability justice movement and the LGBT community.
