Why Do We Whisper “Disability”? Changing the Way We See Inclusion
Have you ever noticed how people lower their voice when they say the word disability?
As if it’s something fragile… something to fix… something to avoid.
But what if disability isn’t a limitation at all?
In this episode of The SwagAbility Show, Stephen sits down with Jenna Udenberg, founder of Above and Beyond With You, to challenge the way we think about disability, accessibility, and inclusion.
Jenna shares her journey living with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and how her experiences shaped a powerful perspective: that inclusion isn’t about measurements, policies, or checklists…
It’s about relationships, respect, and representation.
This conversation will shift how you see disability—not as something to whisper about, but something to understand, embrace, and learn from.
