In this episode, Samantha and Poppy discuss the journey of identifying as disabled when born with a disability; as well as the transition of disabled child to disabled adult.
Sam talks about the assumptions of being visibly disabled to society, biased perceptions that come with it, and being a disabled public figure.
Sharing her experience with body image, loving her body, and how this intersects with her love of fashion.
Poppy and Sam touch on how they met, and the impact Sam's identity had on Poppy finding her own disabled identity.
