Description

In episode 281, I sit down with my new friend Mugabi Byenkya as we talk about medical racism and ableism through his experiences of being a three time stroke survivor.  We explore horrible things doctors said, the importance of family support, why people thought seizures were demonic and more.  This episode is important because it shows how disability is perceived alongside anti-black racism, etc.  Enjoy!

This is a podcast that looks at disability stories. it's like sitting down with a really close friend to have real conversations about disability, sexuality and everything else about the disability experience that we don't talk about; the things about being disabled we keep in the dark.
