Our fourteenth episode of Diversability Amplified is now live! This month, advocate and digital creator Lissie Cox (she/her) joins host Katherine for an exploration of the often forgotten intersection of disability and fatness. We dove into a variety of topics, to include the stigma of fatness in disability rights efforts, barriers to healthcare and accessibility, and how digital creators like Lissie are helping to make more realistic disabled representation possible.
