10 Speaking Up, Not Shutting Down
In Episode 10 of Rainbows and Unicorns, I unpack one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned as a person with a disability living in today’s political climate: nobody is coming to save us—but we still have the power to speak up. After a viral post about wheelchair user rights on flights sparked backlash and misinformation, I did the unthinkable: actual research. What I found shocked me—and it had nothing to do with clickbait headlines or which political party I voted for. This episode dives into: What really happened with the Rights on Flights rollback Why your vote doesn’t equal blind loyalty How to fact-check like a boss (especially in the disability space) The danger of narrow-mindedness—on both sides of the aisle Why it’s time we stop fighting each other and start fighting for each other I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I do know this: I’m not going to let fear, ignorance, or politics silence me from protecting what matters. If you’re ready for real talk about accountability, advocacy, and how we move forward together—you’re in the right place. 📝 Take Action: I’ve have template and contact list I will email to you.
