Jerusha Mather is a Neuroscientist and disability advocate with cerebral palsy.
In this episode we talk to Jerusha about her campaign to be the first disabled Australian Bachelorette, why the producers turned her down, as well as the work that she is doing with dating apps like Tinder to make them more safe and inclusive spaces for people with disability.
We also discuss Jerusha's long-held dream to become a Doctor, and the barriers that she faces in that quest that have resulted in a David and Goliath legal battle.
