In this latest episode, Mary talks with one of her closest friends and fellow advocate Elle Zusi.

The two discuss navigating the world as a deaf person, both personally and professionally. They dive into identifying language and the nuances surrounding it, as well as embracing one’s own disability identity.

Elle is a Jewish DeafDisabledAutistic Queer Non-Binary Artist based in Portland, OR. Elle spends their time drawing and loving living in the rainforest with her dog Trip and cats Mushroom and Magic. Elle believes that art is a way of sharing their heart with the world in a way that transcends communication barriers. Her work both in art and in their community is justice and healing oriented and seeking to uphold Angela Davis’ words, “we must act as if it were possible to radically transform the world, and we must do it all of the time.”

You can follow Elle on social media here.

The Politics of Disability was named Best Interview Podcast at the Astoria Film Festival in both October 2022 and again in June 2023.
