It's time for another News Watch, helping you get your head around the headlines. Locals face-off law enforcement in LA, as Trump sends the military to flatten (or fan up) protests. Meanwhile, Western media are dodging terms like ‘authoritarian' better than their reporters are dodging police bullets. Assisted dying is back in the headlines as legalisation goes through UK and France's parliaments. Disabled people and terminally ill people are often pitched on opposite sides of the debate: how do we elevate both communities' voices, without pitting minorities against each other? Freedom Flotilla or "selfie yacht"? Humanitarian aid or vanity stunt? Whatever you think of Greta Thunberg and the Madleen crew, it doesn't change the fact that Gaza is under siege.

Send us a textWhen Navy veteran Evan Graver's motorcycle collided with a semi-truck in 2001, his life changed forever. The accident left him a T10 paraplegic, abruptly ending his military career just months before 9/11 and forcing him to rebuild his identity from the ground up. Yet two decades later, Evan has transformed this devastating injury into a launchpad for an extraordinary life of purpose and service.In this raw, honest conversation, Evan takes us through his journey from enlistment in 1997 to his current role as a prolific thriller author with 24 published books. He recounts the darkest moments of his recovery with surprising humor – from his memorable five-day odyssey to reach the Cleveland VA ("hospital purgatory") to the pivotal moment when he found himself on his bedroom floor, unable to get back into bed. These seemingly small victories became the building blocks of his remarkable resilience.What makes Evan's story so powerful isn't just his personal triumph, but how he's channeled his experiences into helping fellow veterans. As a board member for two impactful nonprofits – Dive for Vets and Fishing with America's Finest – he helps disabled veterans discover healing through underwater adventures and fishing expeditions in the Florida Everglades. These organizations embody what Evan calls the essential elements of recovery: "purpose, belonging, and connection."The conversation also explores Evan's writing process, his supportive marriage to Becky (whom he's known since before birth), and the unexpected ways his injury prepared him to embrace life's challenges. Now exactly half his life has been spent in a wheelchair – 24 years walking, 24 years rolling – giving him a unique perspective on adaptation and finding joy regardless of circumstances.Whether you're a veteran seeking inspiration, someone facing your own life-changing challenge, or simply looking for an uplifting story of human resilience, Evan's journey demonstrates how tragedy can become transformation when viewed through the lens of possibility rather than limitation.

In this curated selection from the Happy Space Podcast, I'm bringing back voices that challenge, inspire, and expand our thinking about designing for inclusion and accessibility. These encore episodes highlight conversations that continue to resonate—on neurodiversity, workplace design, and the small shifts that can make a big difference. Whether you're tuning in for the first time or revisiting a favourite, I hope these episodes offer fresh insight into how thoughtful design can help everyone show up and perform at their best.We have a declared global intent to be more inclusive of those with disabilities as expressed in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Despite being created in 2006 and with 183 countries on board, there is much work to do. Furthering this work is my guest today, Denis Boudreau. Find out how Denis connected his own feelings of being marginalized as a young boy to empathy and compassion for the disabled community and why there is such a strong business case to create more inclusive organizations. He also shares his perspective on what is getting in the way of leaders from taking action and what to do about it.Denis Boudreau has been bringing his talent to inclusive design in the online world since the early 2000s. Today he is a consultant, trainer, coach and speaker helping organizations create truly inclusive digital experiences for everyone, especially those who are marginalized.

Even if you're not a Christian, you probably have a picture in your mind of who Jesus is. For most people, it's someone unwaveringly kind, caring, and gentle. And for the most part, they're right. But if you read through the Gospels, you'll inevitably come across instances that upset your expectations. Jesus said and did things that almost seem out-of-character; moments where He comes across as mean, dismissive, and even aggressive. At times He's flat-out SAVAGE. So what's really going on here? Are we misreading these stories, or have we misjudged Jesus? Who was He really and why did He do the things He did?

Brooke engages in a thought-provoking conversation with her friend, Rachel, a passionate advocate for disability inclusion in the workplace. They discuss Rachel's experience as a Churchill Fellow, where she explored best practices for building inclusive work cultures that prioritise disabled individuals. They also look at the nuances of reasonable adjustments, the impact of AI on employment, and the importance of recognising the diverse experiences within the disabled community. Rachel shares her personal journey of coming to terms with her disability and emphasises the significance of self-acceptance and pride in one's identity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Disability is not a monolith; it encompasses a wide range of experiences and identities. Each individual's relationship with their disability can vary significantly, and this complexity must be acknowledged in discussions about workplace inclusivity. Many reasonable adjustments in the workplace are free and can significantly enhance the work experience for disabled individuals. Employers should be encouraged to understand and implement these adjustments, which can include simple changes like altering communication styles or workspace arrangements. Attitudes towards disability vary globally, influenced by cultural, social, and legislative contexts. Understanding these differences is crucial for developing effective strategies for inclusion in diverse workplaces. The rise of AI presents both opportunities and challenges for disabled individuals in the workplace. While AI can facilitate reasonable adjustments and improve accessibility, there are concerns about biases in AI systems and the potential for job displacement, particularly within the disabled community. Individuals with disabilities should be empowered to educate themselves about their rights and the reasonable adjustments available to them. This knowledge can help them advocate for their needs in the workplace and contribute to a more inclusive work environment. BEST MOMENTS "AI is going to take our jobs, especially I think within the disabled community where we are as a community so far behind in terms of employment." "95% of reasonable adjustments are completely free." "Disability for many people equals inability." "I think it's important to recognise where legislation and attitudes are working and what organisations are leading to them working." "I love my community. I love my friends. For me, the whole disability pride conversation is a complete self-acceptance and love for who I am as a disabled woman." VALUABLE RESOURCES https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/disabled-and-proud/id1621152878 HOST BIO Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability. Each week this podcast highlights an awesome disabled guest speaking about their own disability; why they are proud to be disabled and why they are proud to be themselves. The conversations in this show will look at what challenges these amazing people face socially, mentally, physically and life in general. This show is raw, open, honest, funny, welcoming and educational. Disabled & Proud does exactly what it says on the tin! And whilst we are creating this space for disabled people to be unashamedly themselves, without the need to conform to society, this is also not about toxic positivity. This show will be shining a big, bright light on disability without it being “Paralympic or pity”. As you will hear disability is WHOLE, COMPLETE & PERFECT and whilst the topic of disability can be quite heavy - and we definitely don't shy away from the bad days - this podcast is also about having fun too! Our aim is to play a part in reclaiming the word disability - turning it from inadequacy to perfection!

On a chilly night in November 2022, police in Wildwood, Florida found a woman tied to a chair in the backyard of a home. Officers would soon discover that the woman, Nichole Baker, had developmental and physical disabilities that made it nearly impossible for her to advocate for herself. Just days later, some of those same officers returned to the home, this time for a death investigation.
