This episode of The Wheelchair Activist, Emma speaks with Annie Segarra, Ezra Johnson, and Jasper Williams about the intersections of being a part of both the disabled and LGBTQIA+ communities. Annie Segarra is a dedicated activist, content creator, and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community; she is queer and gender fluid and alternates between, she/they/he pronouns. Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and other co-occurring conditions, she is well-known for her advocacy work in disability rights, as well as, body positivity, mental health, and social justice, using her engaging videos and insightful discussions to raise awareness.  Ezra Johnson is a Campaigns and Communications Officer at Transport for All. He started working there after becoming disabled, developing a seizure disorder and chronic pain which changed his life drastically overnight. Jasper Armitage-Williams is a profoundly Deaf wheelchair user and openly trans man. As a queer man, he's been involved in LGBTQ+ activism since 2012 when setting up his school's support group. In 2021, he founded WheelieQueer, offering disability benefits support, inclusion training, and pride accessibility consultancy. With a background as a former trans officer at Bangor University and LGBT+ officer for NUS Wales, Jasper brings extensive experience to advocacy. Most recently, he was shortlisted for two Scope awards for his dedication to disability activism. BSL interpretation for this episode was provided by CoSign. Hosted on Acast.
