201. Sofia Sanchez: Filming ‘The Hunger Games’, Her New Book, Self-Advocacy, & Middle School

Today we have a very special guest here to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day, the one and only Sofia Sanchez!! We just happen to be the first podcast interview (many more to come!) for this actress, model, author, and self-advocate. She has some fun projects going on: a new book, cartoon series, a feature film, and advocating on capital hill, just to name a few! Sofia gives us a tease of her experiences filming ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes’ coming to theaters this November! We’d say the odds are in this middle schoolers (almost high schoolers!) favor! We’re cheering you on Sofia!
