Episode 22: Respect.
from The Human Experience of Disability Hosted by Sarah Vazquez
In this episode, Sarah Wishes everyone a Happy New Year. She leaves her closing thoughts in this episode about the community she so proudly represents. She shares that in many cases people who have met her and learned about her life have often felt admiration for her. Even though she respects and receives this admiration, Sarah shares that she doesn’t necessarily want to be admired but rather be respected. Sarah indicates that because the disability community is often a segregated and isolated community that when people meet her and learn about her they are drawn to the idea that she is inspirational. However, Sarah wants people to think deeper about how people who experience disabilities would rather be seen as viable and respectable citizens of the community and hence the world.
