Activism Talk on Disability

Activism Talk on Disability I spoke to a group of young adult students the other day about some of the activism I’v done for disability rights on college campuses trying to approve accessibility for disabled students. I also got to speak on the reasons behind why I created Crip Video Productions to dispel the “Better Dead Than Disabled” stereotype and some of the inaccessibility I have faced in the school system and how disability is never one-size-fits all. Someone asked how I started writing films so I mentioned I began writing by writing stage plays such as “Drama Sighted”. I mentioned the experiences of shooting and writing of “Only Those Who Limp Allowed” and “A Stroke Of Endurance” and how some characters were more fun to write because they had different views from each other. We discussed some science as it relates to current events. We discussed calling out ableism when it happens. We discussed invisible disability. We talked about disability as an aspect of the human condition. I was asked about Crip Video Productions collaborations with Teatro Paraguas and Julesworks Follies. I have been in many Julesworks live streams. This is posted with full permission of the people involved with and hosting the presentation.
