Skills & Wisdom of Disabled People
Disability Justice activists Lani Parker and Dzifa Afonu discuss the skills and wisdom that disabled people bring to surviving and thriving during the pandemic and beyond. They draw on their own experiences to share simple, helpful practices and tools.
This podcast episode is adapted from an event we ran as part of Through the Portal: Healing Justice Beyond Pandemic – a community-led public health programme through a disability justice and anti-oppression lens. The programme was launched in 2020, in response to the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on communities that are marginalised.
