Sometimes the best of intentions can backfire, especially when it comes to inclusivity and accessibility. This week Shawn welcomes disability advocate Amy Amantea to the show to discuss the notion of ‘performative allyship’ and ‘nothing about us without us’ when it comes to planning events designed for the disability community and share their own personal experiences of feeling excluded and frustrated during these events. They emphasize the need for more inclusive and accessible events and spaces while highlighting the value of connecting with the community and sharing both positive and negative experiences.
