In this week’s episode I sat down with Sami Sage. Sami is the Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Betches Media - a female-founded and led media and entertainment brand that provides a space for all women to get real about life and is funny, honest, and unfiltered. We discuss how Governor Ron Desantis’s efforts to eliminate DEI initiatives will impact the disabled and other marginalized communities, why disabled stories, or the impact political decisions have on the disabled community aren’t often covered in the media landscape, how mental health fits into the disability rights movement and conversations, disability representation in scripted and reality-based content, and much, much more.
