Talks & Interviews

I still pinch myself sometimes. I can’t quite believe that I have this incredible honour of speaking publicly about the vast and beautiful facets of disability and queer identities from places like IKEA to Transport Hartford to Tufts University. I can’t believe that I get to speak on NPR and on podcasts, and that my ramblings about disabled joy and accessibility can be found published and quoted across the internet and hard copy journals. Here is a sampling of some of the work I’ve had the pleasure of getting to do!
