Izzie, Saskia, and Anneke explore how disability is understood through the social, human rights, and medical models. They analyse ableism, intersectionality, stigma, and advocacy, looking at how these ideas show up in and relate across the different models. Through open and honest conversation, they work to build understanding and identify ways to dismantle oppressive systems.
Anneke, Saskia, Izzie, and Georgia discuss their experiences navigating disability identity and pride. Their discussion highlights how disability pride is personal, political, and empowering. It is a journey, not a destination, filled with lessons that strengthen them each day. By sharing their stories, they aim to inspire others on their own journeys of self-acceptance and empowerment.
