Description
At only 2.5 years old, Ivy has already faced discrimination based on her disability. In this episode, her mom Vanessa McLeod shares what that’s been like for her to advocate to give her daughter everything she deserves in life. She talks about the ableism they’ve encountered, and her blazing confidence that Ivy will live a fulfilled life.
She insists again and again that her daughter’s disability is not sad at all—it’s wonderful.
