Unmasking Learning Differences w/ Morgan C.B. Miles

** Please note that Morgan's headshot was created with AI.**In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Invisible Disabilities Awareness Week this episode features a special conversation with my friend Morgan C.B. Miles. In this episode we talk about neurodiversity and Morgan shares her vantagepoint on this topic. Morgan and I have been friends for decades so I was honored that she wanted to use this podcast as a platform to talk about a part of her identity that she often doesn't share with people who aren't close to her.  Also, in honor of Invisible Disabilities Awareness week this is the first episode that will include a transcript so that the show can be more accessible to a wider community. Building Highlight: The Canopy by Hilton and Hyatt House at the Wharf in Washington, DC. It's one building but two great hotels and Morgan was involved in bringing this project to fruition.
