83. Managing Finances with a Disability with Xian Horn

It’s estimated that 54 million people in the United States have a disability –– so how does this impact them financially and an individual level, and all of us, regardless of disability status as a societal level? Tori is joined by Xian Horn, a disability advocate, writer, and founder of the non-profit, Give Beauty Wings, to talk about the financial challenges facing people with disabilities. They discuss the practical ways this manifests in day-to-day life, like transportation and lower pay, but also the ways the social safety nets for people with disabilities are woefully lacking, and how we can advocate for people with disabilities both in our communities, at work, and federally.
