11. Black Disabled Representation with Leroy F. Moore
from Beyond Awareness: Disability Awareness That Matters · host Diana Pastora Carson, M.Ed.
Leroy F. Moore, Jr. Bio ABILITY Magazine Interview with Leroy Moore In this episode, Diana chats with Leroy Moore about his personal journey that led to his passionate activism, and art, and his current role as a PhD student at UCLA, advocating and paving the way for Black Disability Studies. He shares the importance of Black disabled representation in all arenas, including education. Note: Many educators and parents have been schooled in "person-first" language. This episode will include references and language which are grounded in identity-first language and disability pride language. It is important for us to be respectful of different language preferences. I ask listeners to remain open-minded and learn from alternative perspectives.
