There's a big misconception of the size of the global disability community as well as right here in the US. I talk with Dominick and Beth about their organizations, the need for representation from the disability community in media and entertainment and the impact that inclusion would have on their community.

Filmmaker and disability activist Dominick Evans discusses disability representation and inclusion in film and TV. They talk about their journey as a trans disabled filmmaker and what their role as a Hollywood consultant. This is the August 8, 2021 episode.

Listen to Dominick Evans, an extraordinary disabled activist and filmmaker, share research studying how disability and many marginalized experiences are depicted on television.

If you listened to Episode 039, you heard my episode about disability representation in film with special guest, Dominick Evans. Our conversation was actually over 2 hours and covered stuff like trans/disabled identity, BDSM, healthcare, and so much more! Here is the rest of it!! Have a listen and enjoy!

In the first of two episodes, I talk with activist, producer and creator of the #FilmDis hashtag, Dominick Evans about sex and disability representation in the media. There's a lot of valuable stuff here, so listen up. Find out more about Dominck here: www.dominickevans.com

Dominick Evans is a filmmaker and activist currently living in Ohio. He has a progressive, neuromuscular disability called spinal muscular atrophy, and needs the help of a wheelchair and other people to complete most physical tasks. He's also transgender. These intersecting identities have made it difficult for him to access the most basic and necessary reproductive health care — even in the emergency room.

The eighth of a ten part series looking at the aftermath of the Pulse shooting in Orlando, solely through the voices of members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Following the shooting, I began seeing members of the community openly worrying on social media, understandably for their lives, but also about the packaging of the attack both by major news outlets and elected officials. It seemed like coverage of the shooting was overwhelmingly formatted as cisgender, heterosexual people talking about members of the queer and Latinx community rather than talking to them. After frustrating hours of fruitlessly searching for perspective from the actual communities affected, I remembered that, in this modern world, I didn’t have to wait for any other outlet to have these conversations for me; I could do it myself. As I started thinking about the project, something else became painfully obvious to me: I couldn’t wrap my head around the weight of 49 lives lost. I heard about a news anchor reading all 49 names on air, and was surprised to hear that this simple act took seven minutes. That number, 49, by itself, can feel small. 49 cents, 49 seconds. I wanted to understand the enormity, the massive loss of life, by talking to 49 people who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community, to understand that weight. The interviews here are presented chronologically by recording date. I spoke with the interviewees for this episode between June 20 and 23, and where they’ve given permission, I’ve included their Twitter handles: 36.

Jordan Seay @JoeySparks13 Given the fluidity of language surrounding sexual, gender, and ethnic identities, it can be hard to find current and comprehensive resources for inclusive language. Here are a few that I’ve found helpful, and I’m happy to add additional resources by recommendation: GLAAD Media Reference Guide Human Rights Campaign Glossary of Terms Teaching Tolerance: A Gender Spectrum Glossary Trans Student Educational Resources Definitions Why We Say Latinx, via Latina magazine This episode contains the following music: “Slow-Motion” by Golden Grey, licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 “Noir” by Daniel James Dolby, licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 “renegades” by beat.dowsing, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US “Cecil” by Stephan Siebert, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 US “Asleep” by Christian Flanders, licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 “La ville aux ponts suspendus” by Komiku, licensed under CC0 1.0 These episodes don’t happen without your support.
