Humor and Representation w/ Danielle Connelly

Today I would like to thank Josh Rettig for being my voice in this episode. In this episode, we are talking about the intersections of disability, media representation and Humor GUEST BIO: Danielle Connolly is a rare disease and disability advocate, content creator, and business and marketing professional. Being born with a muscle disease that still has an unknown origin after twenty-nine years, has given Danielle many unique life experiences that set the course for her various ambitions. After gaining her MBA and obtaining employment as an analyst, she took her first vacation with friends as an adult and realized that she is more capable of traveling than she realized. Upon returning from the trip, she swiftly got her own mobility scooter and started planning more adventures. The idea of documenting these adventures and giving accessibility reviews came about, and then many other ideas for content followed. Thus, Daniellevates was born! Daniellevates is a play on her name combined with “elevates” because the content is all about elevating ideas about disability and rare disease through humor, education, and adventures.
