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. Whatever.

The Mad Chronically Ill Girl is where we’ll meet up with a cup of coffee and just...chat.

Okay?

We also talk about a law that dates back to the Great Depression where it's legal in this country to pay you less just because you're disabled. Yep. Your employer can pay you sub minimum wage just because you're disabled and it's ALL LEGAL. Why? We need to do something about this. If we're doing the same work, then why aren't we getting paid the same? What is it about a wheelchair or a mental illness that makes you think I have to get less money? We need to sign a petition or something folks. Tune in to fin...
