Inclusion Isn’t a Favor—It’s a Foundation

What happens when inclusion is treated like a luxury instead of a basic right?In this episode, I peel back the layers of performative inclusion and bring us into the real, raw experience of fighting for access, dignity, and belonging as the caregiver of a medically complex child. From historical moments like the Capitol Crawl to personal stories about my local library and changing Rosie on public restroom floors, this episode is part history lesson, part emotional gut punch, and part rally cry.You’ll learn how features we take for granted—curb cuts, texting, captions—were born out of disability advocacy, and why inclusion isn’t just about disability. It’s about humanity.✨ Plus: A shout-out to The Inclusion Effect podcast by Anna Kohl, where powerful inclusion conversations continue weekly.This isn’t about asking for too much. This is about asking for the bare minimum—and knowing you’re not alone.
