Description

Keah Brown is a journalist and writer whose work has appeared in Harpers Bazaar, Essence, Catapult, Teen Vogue, Lenny Letter and elsewhere. She is currently a senior entertainment writer at Cliché Magazine – a premier digital fashion magazine that highlights pop culture, fashion trends, celebrities, beauty, and more. In this episode, Keah tells the story of when and why she started the #DisabledandCute hashtag, and she goes into detail about the lack of disability representation in the media, entertainment, and pop culture. She shares what she’d love to see happen – both in terms of representation and from the able-bodied population at large – and she also shares the personal side of her own body acceptance evolution. From there, we talk about everything from celebrity crushes to feeling jealous of your sibling to Keah’s recent successes as a writer, including the book she just sold. I absolutely loved this conversation – Keah is brilliant and delightful  – and I hope you get as much joy from listening to her as I did. (more…)

This is Real Talk Radio, the podcast that's filled with refreshingly honest conversations about the wonderful mess of being human. In a world that's hell-bent on selling us things to "fix" ourselves, this show represents a small but powerful rebellion by people who just want to be real. During each eight-episode season, show host Nicole Antoinette sits down with a wide range of beautifully imperfect people - athletes, writers, entrepreneurs, parents, coaches, activists, adventurers, artists, and more - to dive into the truth of what’s really going on in their lives. The goal is for each episode to feel like a sigh of relief, reminding you that we’re all just doing the best we can, and that no matter what we’re in this together.
