    Claiming Disability & Creating Change: A Conversation with Erin Noon Kay

    In this powerful and educational episode of Goddess on the Rise, I’m joined by my incredible friend Erin Noon Kay-CEO & Founder of Claiming Disability. We dive deep into the realities of living with a disability, the state of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in the U.S. right now, and the urgent need for true representation and accessibility. This conversation is filled with truth, lived experience, and real talk-especially around how society views disability, the barriers that still exist, and how we can all do better when it comes to allyship and advocacy. Here’s a little more about Erin in her own words: Erin Noon Kay is the CEO & Founder of Claiming Disability. Erin identifies a "fierce disabled entrepreneurial woman," with Cerebral Palsy. She uses a walker and wheelchair occasionally, but she believes it's "OK" to look disabled and is working hard to bring representation for disability in film and everyday culture through media projects and disability related content. She believes "disabled," is NOT is a bad word, but a badge of honor, a beautiful community, a culture. She has worked in the non-profit, governmental, and business sector for over 10 years. Now, Claiming Disability, is connected to over 35k disability advocates from around the world, including Jim Lebrecht and Nicole Newnham, the Directors/Executive Producers of Crip Camp. A groundbreaking summer camp galvanizes a group of teens with disabilities to help build a movement, forging a new path toward greater equality. Tune in to learn, unlearn, and walk away more empowered to be part of the change. To support Erin or follow her journey check out her link tre,e https://linktr.ee/claiming_disability

    A Piece of My Soul: Reading My Chapter from Quantum Wholistic Healing

    I often times forget I even wrote a chapter in a book and became a best selling author and I know that sound so silly but honestly it was during an extremely hard time in my life. I don't think I have ever even read that chapter I had wrote except to proofread it. This was so emotionally beautiful for me and it made me inspired to start writing again. Thanks for watching, I love that you are here with me! Drop me a comment or find me on tikTok or IG and let me know what you thought! Don't forget! You can watch me on YouTube too!
