Harmful Vs. Helpful Disability Representation with Nico Meyering

Hey, welcome to an episode of Crippled by Culture, where we talk about everything in life and relate it to the disabled and chronically ill community. My name is Sean Gold and I am an author, advocate, and nonverbal public speaker for the disability community. Today I would like to thank Adam Ross for being my voice in this episode. In this episode, we are talking about the intersections of disability, fandoms, harmful vs helpful disability representation, and pop culture. Guest Bio: Nico Meyering will eventually grow up and get a real job. Until then, he is an award-winning Disabled advocate and a member of the National Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame. As a founding member of the Diversability Leadership Collective, which I now love, Nico lives in Philadelphia where he served on the Mayor's Commission for People with Disabilities and hosts a pop culture podcast called "Ask Me! Fandom and People with Disabilities" with Steve Williams.
