Episode 60: Everyone stares at my walker because it’s cool!

from Demand and Disrupt

Kimberly talks to Carrie Sessarego, a blogger on a popular book review website. Carrie named her wheelchair the Blue Beetle, and she has found ways to individualize her mobility devices so that her personality shines through. In this episode, they talk about making mobility aids feel like more than medical devices, what makes healthy community, and whether audiobooks are actually reading. The answer to that last one is, absolutely yes!!! https://smartb*tchestrashybooks.com Thanks to Chris Ankin for use of his song, “Change.” The book "A Celebration of Family: Stories of Parents with Disabilities." is available from Amazon here.
