Hi! My name is Marya and I’m a 20 year old advocate for people with disabilities. My podcast will take you on a journey of my life, trials and tribulations of what it’s like growing up with a physical disability in an immigrant household. I hope you listen with an open mind and heart.
In today's episode, I am joined with my good friend David where we will be talking about the desi community more specifically desi dysphoria and the harms that come with it.
In this episode, I will be discussing the question that I get asked the most which is one that can be difficult to talk about and that is, do I wish I could walk. I want to take this opportunity to be as raw & open that I can be with you guys about this to really explain the many layers of this question.
In this episode, I am joined with Tik Tok's Alejandro Bocija as we talk about his accident that led to his disability, his experiences with the health care systems in the USA versus in Spain, his campaign on making airplanes wheelchair accessible, amongst other things!
This episode is to introduce myself and get you guys a little bit more familiar with me and the content I will be speaking about!
