    Recast: Alice Wong on The Year of the Tiger

    After Alice's passing late last week, we wanted to reshare Qudsiya's conversation with her. Alice Wong was a disabled activist, author and podcaster behind “Disability Visibility,” and the first person Qudsiya reached out to for advice on podcasting.In their conversation, Alice tells Qudsiya what she’s learned about the visibility of the disabled experience in media and culture, and her desire to contribute to those narratives by telling her own story. They also discuss the need for more financial support for disabled creatives, as well as better representation in journalism and other media.

    Audio essay: We Are Not Okay…and We Will Keep Resisting

    This Disability Pride Month isn’t just about celebrating the disability community: it marks a season of resistance. Our very existence is under threat, from drastic cuts to the social safety net, to vile attacks on the autistic community, a full-on assault on transgender lives, and the terrorizing of immigrants. But this is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that those who face oppression and state violence have leaned on each other to challenge the forces that seek to erase us. In her powerful new essay, “We Are Not Ok…And We Will Keep Resisting,” disability justice activist Conchita Hernandez Legorreta powerfully captures the pain, joy, and resistance of living at the intersection of immigration and disability. Her story, like so many others, is one of trauma, state violence, and exploitation. But it is also a story about care, community, joy, and resistance. Please take care when listening, as this episode includes depictions of trauma and violence. -- Let us know what you think with a comment or review!

    Disability Cultural Centers with Dagny Brown and Mika Weissbuch

    Over the last few episodes, we've talked about disability rights, history, the law, and intersectional movement building. Today we're going to dive into another important aspect of the disability experience—disability culture. We'll listen in on Qudsiya’s conversation with Dagny Brown and Mika Weissbuch, two of the three co-directors of the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center, or DCC. Dagny and Mika recounted the DCC origin story, their vision for its role in San Francisco and beyond, and Qudsiya, Dagny, and Mika talked about why creating a shared space and experiences for people of all backgrounds, regardless of whether they identify as being disabled or not, is a powerful tool for breaking down stigma and confronting ableism. -- Let us know what you think with a comment or review!

    Disability Justice Is Trans Justice

    Disability and Punishment with Professor Jamelia Morgan

    This week, Qudsiya speaks with Professor Jamelia Morgan, an award-winning and acclaimed scholar and teacher at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, where she also directs the Center for Racial and Disability Justice. Professor Morgan's work focuses on the intersection of race, gender, disability, and criminal law and punishment. Qudsiya and Jamelia talked about her personal path to studying these issues, the particular harms that people of color with disabilities face when it comes to policing and mass incarceration, and her transformative vision for a world that prioritizes justice and inclusion over violence and punishment. -- Let us know what you think with a comment or review!
