In Episode 15 of Diversability Amplified, Sara Groves—a LGBTQIA+ Disabled Musician, Entrepreneur and winner of the Frazier Fund from the Diversability Leadership Collective—joins host Marie Dagenais-Lewis for a Chronically Candid conversation surrounding innovation and entrepreneurship sparked by the Disabled Experience.
“It is such an empowering moment to know that my disability isn’t holding me back. My disability isn’t making my life terrible. I am doing good in the world because I’m disabled..I am creating in the world, making art. I am entertaining…all of it is because I’m disabled. And it’s a beautiful connection point to my disability.”
