68. Disability Inclusivity, Poetry + Founding A Business with Zainab IT'S YOUR LIFE (and this is mine)

Today on It’s Your Life (and this is mine) we have Zainab who is a model, author and founder of business SociaLiaise. We talk about the wrong use of disability models in terms of tokenism and ‘ticking a box’, how poetry has helped Zainab express her emotions and mental health over the years, as well as advice to starting your own business. 



We hope you enjoy this episode and learn something new!
