Wow I have a Podcast...

I never thought that I would be hosting my own podcast and here I am. I don’t know where this is going to go but I’m so excited. I want to discuss the important issues of the day that disabled people deal with along with those of us who are chronically ill. Those with mental and physical limitations, it doesn’t matter.

Okay?

Disabled Workers of Walmart

We need to sign a petition or something folks. Tune in to fin...

I labeled this episode CONTROVERSIAL because inside the podcast, I try to simulate a situation that happens too many times in this country. So there are ample warnings before the simulation occurs. If someone doesn’t want to take part, then they don’t have to and can skip ahead. At this point, using different sound effects, I recreate some sounds that could trigger people. I'm glad I put the warning in and those that want to participate, can and those who don’t, won’t have to. So I hope that this episode will start a discussion and engagement on an issue that affects all Americans but disabled Americans need more than lip service. WE need action and we need it now! People with disabilities are more likely to be the victim of violence rather than the cause of it. This episode was chosen because we are not having the right discussions in this country about mass shootings...
