She's Not Just a Pretty Face
This is an encore episode while I focus on my teaching.
This week's guest is Sandie Roberts
Right from the start, I knew Sandie was deeper than her good looks as a model. Just four years into being a full-fledged member of the disability community, she's breaking the glass walls and the glass ceiling that surrounds this much-suppressed group. This is evident from the heading of her website: "Rolling into confidence, let’s create the life we deserve!"
Sandie uses her platform as a model to bring "normalcy" to the labels that society places upon us. She is a positive role model rather than a positive rolling model (sorry for the corny joke).
As I strive to point this show in a new direction, Sandie and I discussed the guilt that comes with becoming disabled as an adult: The misdirected guilt of being a burden upon our family.
Sandie was also comfortable discussing her recent online encounters with some very troubling people. You can read about that HERE on BBC News.
It's real, so let's talk about it.
