disability pride month

Continuing the conversation from last week’s episode with Diego Mariscal about the lack of funding going to disabled entrepreneurs,  Marcia is joined by the inspiring Keely Cat-Wells to explore her own experiences in the world of entrepreneurship. Keely shares her personal journey of resilience and determination, from her dreams of becoming a professional dancer to starting a talent agency exclusively for representing disabled individuals. The episode dives into Keely's mission to provide equitable opportunities for disabled talent in the entertainment industry and her recent venture into creating a scalable solution to bridge the gap between underrepresented talent and meaningful employment.  

Keely recounts her unexpected path to entrepreneurship, propelled by her own firsthand experiences with ableism and discrimination. From being dismissed by the medical system to facing exclusion in the workplace, Keely's determination to champion disabled talent fueled her journey. The episode showcases her groundbreaking work with C Talent, the talent agency she founded, and the subsequent acquisition that led her to venture into the tech space with Making Space.  

As disabled individuals face barriers to traditional employment opportunities, Keely's venture, Making Space, empowers companies to access pre-qualified, underrepresented talent, while simultaneously addressing issues of recruitment, retention, and turnover. By leveraging technology and creating a Trojan horse effect, Keely is determined to ensure that diverse candidates, including disabled individuals from low-income communities, can secure and thrive in meaningful employment.

Be prepared to be inspired and educated as Keely shares her experiences, triumphs, and powerful vision for a more accessible and equitable future.

Handicapable Black Woman Episode 60 They Forget I Am Human Dating Edition Part 1

Dating while having a disability is difficult enough but when you have standards and none that are physical, none for shallow reasons just standards that will make sure we as a couple have the highest rate of success... Many people/ Men especially tell me that I should take what I can get and since I was a teenager, I was told that in other words or the blame was put on me. People with disability have a right to fall in love and love someone who they are genuinely compatible with, not someone that who you will be with because at least they are someone who wants me, but they don't or won't love me, they only see me as someone who can and will be able to be coaxed into doing what and as they say. Many men think I am or should be more submissive which will be talked about in part 2. Make sure you watch part two.

There seems to be some confusion over whether July is Disability Pride Month or Disability Awareness Month. There's no need to be confused. July is one hundred percent Disability PRIDE Month.

July is Disability Pride Month, and Kic community member Lauren McDonough does an outstanding job of not only raising awareness around disability, but mental health as well.

Lauren lost the lower half of both of her legs in a tragic incident in 2017 where she attempted to take her own life. Since then, Lauren has not only turned her life around in being a mental health advocate and ambassador for Beyond Blue and Liptember, but she has also been able to embrace her disability and spread the very important message that we can all make small changes to help support those with disabilities and make the world a more inclusive and accessible place.

For Disability Pride Month, we do a check-in on our personal experiences with disability and internalized ableism.

The 2021 coming of age film Coda won many people's hearts (and some Academy Awards), but it also started a big and important conversation on representation and opportunity.

The title kind of gives it away. Today we're learning about the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the first time in history that the civil rights of disabled people were legally protected.

July is Disability Pride Month! I am so excited to have Tiffany Yu on the podcast today. Tiffany is the CEO and founder of "Diversability", which is an award-winning social enterprise that amplifies disabled voices. She's also the founder of the Awesome Foundation Disability Chapter, which is  a monthly micro grant that has awarded $ 49.5 K dollars, to 50 disability projects in 8 different countries. She's also a fellow podcaster; she's the host of Tiffany & Yu.  Currently Tiffany serves on the San Francisco mayor's disability council and was the 2020 co-chair of the World Economic Forum Sustainable Development Impact Summit. In addition to all of this, she's a public speaker. Make sure to also listen to her TEDx  talks (she's done 3 of them),  plus she's also spoke on five sessions of the World Economic Forum annual meeting.  Tiffany has been featured in Marie Claire, the Guardian and Forbes, and for all of you TikTok lovers out there, including myself, she was named one of TikTok's, 15 Asian American Pacific Islander trailblazers. On TikTok, she posts amazing educational content, including her anti ableism daily, so go check her out on TikToK.  I'm just super excited to hear her story learn more about her entrepreneurial journey, but also about her life living at the intersection of being an Asian-American, disabled, woman.
