Today I’m in conversation with Mustafa Rfat.
Text transcripts and links for each episode are available at: Twitter: Support this podcast: /DVP Disability Visibility is a production of the Disability Visibility Project, an online community dedicated to recording, amplifying, and sharing disability media and culture. She’ll also talk about the importance of creating space for the broader disability community with the formation of the Disability Cultural Center and the years-long process that made it happen. You’ll hear Alena talk about developing her disability identity, finding community, and getting involved in community organizing at school. Alena is a queer disabled advocate of color and the former Chair and Co-Founder of the Disabled Students Commission, and through loving interdependence and collective labor with her fellow crips, she co-created one of the few Disability Cultural Centers in the country at UC Berkeley. Today I’m in conversation with Alena Morales, who will graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences with a minor in Disability Studies at UC Berkeley in Spring 2021.
Thank you for being in community with me. This is not the end, but the beginning of new adventures. And most importantly, I want to thank YOU. I also want to thank the 100+ guests for sharing their wisdom and time and for trusting their story with me. In addition to Sarika, Cheryl, and Geraldine, I want to thank Mike Mort for creating the logo, Wheelchair Sports Camp for allowing me to use 2 of their songs as the theme music, and Lateef McLeod for the introduction. It has been an absolute joy to create and collaborate with so many awesome people. I hope you will continue to subscribe because I may still produce other audio stories in the future, just not regular podcast episodes. I’ll talk about how I came to this decision in the conversation you’re about to hear. Friends, this is the last episode of the Disability Visibility podcast. On my website you can also find more such as a downloadable list of all 100 podcast episodes you can share as a resource and another document with responses by students from Mid-Peninsula High School in San Mateo, California. And this is a supersized episode! After the conversation, you’ll hear some feedback from podcast listeners. You’ll hear us talk about the lack of disabled voices in radio or podcasts, our collaborative process, and the future of the podcast. Today’s subject is this podcast because it’s episode 100!! Whether this is the first time you’re listening or if you’re a longtime listener, this podcast is co-audio produced by three people and myself: Sarika Mehta Geraldine Ah-Sue and Cheryl Green I’m proud to work with all three of them since the podcast started in 2017.
