Disability and breast cancer intersect in more than one direction. Some people develop long-term effects like lymphedema, neuropathy or cognitive changes because of treatment — effects recognized as disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Others are already living with a disability, of any kind, when a breast cancer diagnosis enters the picture. This July, in recognition of Disability Pride Month, Krista Park Berry, Director of Susan G. Komen's Breast Care Helpline, returns to Real Pink to talk about how the Helpline supports people through their breast health experience no matter when their disability started, and what that support looks like for women of color in particular. Key takeaways No two disability experiences are the same Disability can exist before or develop after breast cancer treatment The Komen Breast Care Helpline provides personalized support and resources Accessible, whole-person care improves quality of life and health outcomes Chapters 00:00 – Understanding disability and breast cancer 02:08 – Treatment-related disabilities and ADA protections 06:26 – Supporting people living with metastatic breast cancer 08:11 – Navigating breast cancer with a pre-existing disability 12:11 – Health equity, women of color, and closing care gaps 13:36 – Why asking for help can change everything

In this week's vlog, I share as part of July being Disability Pride Month how I balance my need to use accessibility features versus having the ability to do as a traditional human, letting go of the shame of prioritizing my need to utilize accessible features and accommodations as I need them and be able to do things in a normal fashion when I am able by not living in fear of being judged, questioned or scrutinized by others for using accessible-designated features when needed.Links:Visit my linktreeWeekly E-Blast Sign-upWebsite & BlogSocial:FacebookX / TwitterInstagramPinterestTikTokPodcast Platforms:SpotifyAnchorGoogle PodcastsAmazon MusicPocketcastsRadio Public

Kaip žmogus, pasaulį matantis kitaip, atranda fotografiją – meną, kuris daugeliui neatsiejamas nuo regėjimo? Ką reiškia kurti portretą, kai svarbiausia tampa ne tai, ką matai akimis, o gebėjimas pajausti žmogų ir užmegzti su juo ryšį?Laidoje kalbamės su fotografu Simonu Kriaučiūnu, kurio fotografijų paroda „Vidinis gylis“ kviečia pažvelgti giliau nei pirmas žvilgsnis. Kodėl jos herojai fotografuojami užmerktomis akimis? Kaip gimė ši idėja? Ir kuo išskirtinis silpnaregio fotografo žvilgsnis į žmogų?Kartu studijoje – viena iš parodos veidų, biologijos mokslų daktarė Tautvilė Šukytė. Kalbamės ne tik apie jos patirtį tapus šio projekto dalimi, bet ir apie žmogaus bei gyvūno ryšį, vadinamąją karvių terapiją. Ir apie tai, kaip pačios karvės „pasako“, kada nebenori jos tęsti.Tai pokalbis apie fotografiją, pasitikėjimą, ryšį, jautrumą ir tai, kas slypi giliau nei pirmas žvilgsnis.Ši laida klausytojus pasiekia paskutinį liepos šeštadienį – mėnesį, kai pasaulyje minimas Negalios pasididžiavimo mėnuo (Disability Pride Month). Tai gera proga prisiminti, kad talentas, kūryba ir gebėjimas įkvėpti nepriklauso nuo to, kaip žmogus mato pasaulį, tai priklauso nuo to, kaip jis jį kuria.Ved. Žydrė Gedrimaitė

“I think our biggest hope, I know in writing this paper, was that people will understand that accessibility is more than a compliance issue. It's more than checklist at the end of your training development; that this is a human rights issue, this is the civil rights issue, and we need a mindset shift from compliance and from making individual accommodations and feeling like almost like, oh, we're doing that person a favor by accommodating them to totally shift that thinking to creatingaccessible, equitable environments where people can thrive and learn.” – Leah A. Roman The HPP Podcasts celebrates Disability Pride Month! Leah A. Roman and Nailah Henry join us to celebrate this observance through the lens of civic health equity. The authors provide the context for voting and civic health equity, the barriers to civic engagement for people living with disabilities, and practical tips for public health professionals to take actionable steps to make voting and other acts of civic engagement more inclusive. They also share how current policies impact people living with disabilities' ability to navigate civic engagement, and what recommendations make it easier.

Kevin launches a new classic RISK! series for Disability Pride Month, revisiting stories about life with a disability from episodes past. Amy Salloway takes a job as guest playwright at Entropy, a theater program for adults with multiple disabilities. On her first day, a charming client named Aaron falls at her feet. The interview quickly becomes something Amy knows is off-limits. Mary Gossett meets Andrew on the Plenty of Fish dating app. He's a wheelchair user. Their first months together are equal parts giddy first love and daily logistical negotiation. Then, on the morning of what was supposed to be a landmark day, Mary loses feeling on the right side of her body. (And thanks to Amy Salloway and Jeff Grell, who organized the Twin Cities RISK! fundraiser where Mary's story was originally recorded.) • Leave your comments to these stories and find episode details and music credits at risk-show.com/podcast/the-best-of-disability-stories • Find this and future Best of Disability Stories episodes at risk-show.com/disabilitystories Be Part of RISK!
AwesomeCast 787 gets practical, futuristic and increasingly strange as Sorg, Katie Dudas and Dave Podnar explore family-safe phones, connected health gadgets, USB-C mysteries, robotic limbs, Instagram's latest AI privacy controversy and Fortnite's revealing new take on the DC Universe. Sorg also begins downloading the iOS 27 public beta during the show, despite Katie's warnings and a few concerns being saved for the Patreon aftertalk.

The plug-and-play backup works with phones and laptops without a complicated setup.

It's Disability Pride Month, and we're continuing our trip down memory lane with a brand new mini series featuring past podcast conversations with leaders who have reshaped arts and media through the lens of disability. The Trump administration continues to threaten the erasure of disabled people from American society, most recently by calling into question a decades-old Supreme Court precedent in the case Olmstead v. L.C. that enshrined a right to community integration for disabled people under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Now, more than ever, we need to lift up disability culture and tell disabled stories through every form of media possible. We also must ensure that media is accessible to disabled people because the ability to share our stories in our own voices is more important than ever.As we continue the struggle to protect our right to live and thrive in this world, this season, we're uplifting the journalists, podcasters, musicians, and artists who, every day, ensure that accessibility, disability culture, and disability stories are front and center. We'll begin with one of our earliest podcast guests, Sean Collins, to learn about why image descriptions in news articles are essential to accessing the news.We hope you enjoy revisiting these episodes with us! And stay tuned for a very special brand new episode to close out this mini series!--Let us know what you think with a comment or review!Visit our website for transcripts.Subscribe to Qudsiya's Substack, Getting Down To ItSupport the team behind the podcast with a donation
July isn't just Disability Pride Month, it's also the time when lots of Bay Area folks are preparing to go to the festival in Nevada's Black Rock desert: Burning man. And one group that goes each year exists at the intersection of disability advocacy and the values that guide the gathering. The Burner community is guided by what they call “The 10 Principles.” One of those principles is radical inclusion. But what does that mean for people with disabilities? Next, we revisit a story from an episode of the podcast the Intersection that explores what disability advocacy looks like in the desert.
"You don't need someone else's permission to belong." This Pride and Disability Pride Month, Dillon and Rev.

In this week's vlog, I share as part of July being Disability Pride Month how it was important to not judge or shame others for their challenges and that not all disabled people require the same accommodations while understanding how much disabled people gone through even now and continuing to fight ableism, but me realizing that there is no shame in my disability that my needs are needs just like others with disabilities.Links:Visit my linktreeWeekly E-Blast Sign-upWebsite & BlogSocial:FacebookX / TwitterInstagramPinterestTikTokPodcast Platforms:SpotifyAnchorGoogle PodcastsAmazon MusicPocketcastsRadio Public
In recognition of Disability Pride Month, we look back on “There Plant Eyes” by M. Leona Godin. The book captures the cultural history of blindness while blending together Leona's personal story of sight loss. Host Jacob Shymanski catches up with Leona to discuss society's perceptions of blindness and the importance of challenging the ideas about what it means to be “blind.” This episode is produced by Andrika De Lanerolle.

Hi guys! Today's episode is super duper long and I truly have stopped caring, there's so much corruption in this world and it deserves to be covered. What corruption are we going over this week? Glad you asked! This is a continuation on our deep-dive into WHY women were actually banned from clinical research in 1977. It is absolutely crucial we understand who is behind this as *ahem* women matter and it's also Disability Pride Month! Thank you all for taking the time to listen or at least check out the resources (scroll down for the databases) - if any sources are missing it's because Youtube and podcast sites usually have a 5K letter limit. I'm using those letters explaining this - but if you need to find something, write down the key words I used and type them into ToxicDocs. By the way, NO, this is not sponsored by ToxicDocs as that's not how research databases roll. I'm just a fan. I appreciate you all! Thank you again for listening.

Disability Pride looks different for everyone. Sometimes, it begins with something as simple as getting dressed. In this special Disability Pride Month episode of Everything You Know About Disability Is Wrong, we are joined by Joshua Norris, CEO of Silverts Adaptive Clothing & Footwear and IZ Adaptive, and creator Sidney Raz to explore how adaptive clothing can be both a practical accessibility tool and a powerful form of self-expression. Joshua shares the nearly century-long history of Silverts, the world's first adaptive clothing company, and the mission that inspired him to lead an employee buyout to preserve the brand. Sid reflects on his life-changing cancer diagnosis, total stomach removal, and the ongoing process of navigating disability, grief, and acceptance in the public eye. Together, the conversation highlights why accessibility, fashion, and disability pride belong in the same conversation. The group also discusses the importance of adaptive clothing beyond function, how small acts of care can create meaningful change, misconceptions about cancer and disability, and why making accommodations for yourself is something to be proud of. Whether you're newly navigating disability, supporting someone you love, or simply interested in building a more accessible world, this episode is an honest reminder that disability pride doesn't require having everything figured out—it simply asks us to show up as we are. This episode is in celebration of a brand-new partnership between Easterseals, Silverts, and IZ Adaptive! From July 6–31, 5% of every purchase at silverts.com and izadaptive.com supports Easterseals programs across the U.S. and Canada.

Celebrating Identity and Inclusion: City of Madison Disability Pride Flag Raising Ceremony. The City of Madison hosted its second Disability Pride Flag Raising Ceremony to commemorate the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ceremony & news conference took place on Wednesday, July 8, at 11:30 a.m. Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway, Alder Dina Nina Martinez-Rutherford, disability advocates, and community leaders participated in the ceremony. "The disability community is a valuable part of Madison. With the growing threats of defunding disability services and possible institutionalization from our federal government, it is crucial that we vocally affirm who we are as a city. I will work to ensure that we are a city where dignity is not negotiable, and where everyone who calls Madison home knows they belong here," says Alder Dina Nina Martinez-Rutherford. Rebecca Hoyt, Disability Rights and Services Specialist for the City of Madison, and Nicki Vander Meulen, MMSD school board member and disability rights advocate, also spoke at the news conference. “At a time when legislatures seek to push us back to institutions, health agencies seek to cure, and institutions bury our histories, we must exist together in bold audacious pride,” says Hoyt. July is nationally recognized as Disability Pride Month. The ceremony will honor the strength and resilience of the disability community while highlighting Madison's commitment to equity, inclusion, and accessibility for all residents.

In this week's vlog, I share as part of July being Disability Pride Month how it was important to accept the need to admit that I have a disability when it comes to doing certain things in the world and that it is acceptable to utilize supports and facilities earmarked for the disabled as I need to in order to make life easier for me, rather than seeing by disability as an excuse or wanting to be lazy.Links:Visit my linktreeWeekly E-Blast Sign-upWebsite & BlogSocial:FacebookX / TwitterInstagramPinterestTikTokPodcast Platforms:SpotifyAnchorGoogle PodcastsAmazon MusicPocketcastsRadio Public
In this episode of Flame Bearers, host and Paralympian Manasi Joshi sits down with Paralympic trailblazer, mentor, and foundation founder Scout Basset and rising collegiate para-track star and world championship medalist Annie Carey for an illuminating conversation honoring Disability Pride Month. Annie and Scout explore the complex realities of navigating elite sport as para athletes, from Annie's experiences as a young girl competing against adults to discovering a radically freeing community where she could finally step onto the track without needing to hide or explain her disability. They share the vulnerability of navigating the invisible, lonely, and expensive barriers to reaching the Paralympic stage, as well as the unique psychological transition of moving between a deeply accepting athletic inner circle and everyday college life. Together, they redefine the strict binary of winning and losing, while directly challenging the media to look past an athlete's disability backstory. Scout and Annie call on the fashion, beauty, and marketing industries to normalize representation and embrace women with disabilities as trendy, beautiful, and aspirational icons, reminding us all that we always have the power to take life's imperfect moments and choose exactly what to make of them.
Marina Logacheva is the Disability Sports Lead at the Matta sports marketing agency. A keen amateur athlete, Marina was training for an Ironman in 2020 when she became a tetraplegic wheelchair user following a traumatic fall. Here in the UK, July is Disability Pride Month, in which Visbility, intersectionality and disabled leadership are all celebrated. Those topics were on the agenda during my chat with Marina too, as well as the huge opportunity that sports participation spaces are missing through a lack of focus on and catering for a potential disabled customer base. Approximately 25% of the UK population reports having a disability. This equates to nearly 17 million people, yet the public discourse around disability, and the specific discourse around access to sport, remains minimal.
