Episode 7: Who Gets To Define Disability? Self-Diagnosis, Institutional Barriers, and Community
The Madcast by Nate Tilton, Eliana Madera, Madison Phoenix, and Nicholas Escobar
Episode notes
Welcome back to a new season of the Madcast!! Back from a brief hiatus, Hosts El and lyn are bringing an exciting new line-up of episodes filled with new guests, new topics, and much, much more!
On this week's episode, we're discussing the issue of disability: disability as an identity, disability as a medical diagnosis, and disability as a deeply personal experience. We're unpacking how institutional power, community gatekeeping, and shame (as well as self-empowerment, community support, and disabled joy) dictates our identity.
There's a lot to cover this episode- you won't wanna miss a single second!
