Hey, welcome to an episode of Crippled by Culture, where we talk about everything in life and relate it to the disability and chronically ill community. My name is Sean Gold and I am an author, advocate, and nonverbal public speaker for the disability community.

Before we jump in, I just want to give a quick shoutout to Isabella Christine for being my voice transcriber for this episode—thank you so much. Today we’re talking about the intersections of disability, accessible content creation, singing, and being a plus size Black woman public figure, and I’m really excited for this one.
