In this episode of Remaking Normal, Alexander Freeman sits down with activist, creator, and YouTuber Annie Segarra — known online as Annie Elainey — for a heartfelt and unfiltered conversation about disability, queer identity, love, and the urgent need for authentic representation in media.

Annie, a proud queer disabled woman and one of the most influential voices in online activism, shares her personal journey of navigating intersectional identities in a world that often insists on labels and limits. Together, she and Alexander explore what it means to exist fully — to live at the intersection of disability and queerness — while facing social structures that still define “normal” through exclusion.

Through stories, laughter, and hard truths, they discuss how media and culture shape perceptions of identity, why visibility matters, and how love and self-acceptance become acts of resistance.
