Disability Allyship with Jennifer Sarrett

In the marathon that is allyship, disability awareness can feel like miles added on mid-race. But there’s no finish line for allies - only growth. Anti-ableism expert Jennifer Sarrett, PhD., joins Erica and India in challenging the conventions that keep disability advocacy on the outskirts of DEI discussion and provides helpful tools for advancing the cause.

The discussion includes:

• Definitions of common terms
• A look at the disabled community
• Practicing vs perfecting allyship
• Ally vs co-conspirator
