It's like I have this capability not in spite of my experience of living as a disabled person, but because of my experience of living as a disabled person.
Imagine growing up feeling like you have to hide a part of yourself just to fit in. Leslie's story is a powerful testament to this struggle. From a young age, she was taught to achieve success despite her disability, not because of it. This episode of 'Hart to Harts' delves into Leslie's evolving perspective on living with a disability and her journey toward self-acceptance.
Rather than seeing her disability as a limitation, Leslie now views it as a unique strength that offers her deeper empathy and understanding of others. She challenges the societal norms that push disabled individuals to the margins and advocates for greater representation and acceptance. Leslie's candid discussion on ableism and the importance of celebrating one's unique story is both inspiring and thought-provoking.
She acknowledges that advocating for change can be uncomfortable, but she believes these awkward moments are essential for growth. By embracing her identity as a proud disabled person, Leslie hopes to encourage others to do the same. Tune in to hear Leslie's compelling narrative and join the conversation on how we can all contribute to a more inclusive society.
