0:53
welcome to the podcast rihannon did you
0:56
just want to start off by telling
0:57
everyone a bit about you and what you do
Rhiannon Tracey
1:00
hi sure um thanks for having me totally
1:03
hyped for this jason we always have such
1:06
a blast when we do anything together so
1:08
this is probably going to be hilarious
1:11
uh my name is brianna
1:14
sorry my name is rhiannon i have been
1:17
in a chair for 13 years so i have a
1:20
spinal cord injury due to a diving
1:23
accident in bali
1:25
i wear many different hats in what i
1:28
like to call my real life so i am the
1:31
founding director of a spinal cord
1:33
injury recovery and wellness center
1:35
called the next step i'm a keynote
1:37
speaker and presenter i am a model and
1:40
i'm also a lifestyle actor and inclusion
1:44
influencer across all social media
1:46
platforms
1:48
so that's me in a nutshell did you want
1:50
to tell us a little bit more about your
1:52
life as a
1:53
model and a public speaker and also have
1:55
you experienced any barriers being
1:58
having a disability and being working in
1:59
those industries
2:01
absolutely so i tell people that i
2:03
literally fell into every career that
2:06
i'm in now and when i literally felt
2:08
like i fell into a swimming pool
2:10
so
2:11
i have just really
2:14
strived to create
2:15
i guess a safe space and platforms in
2:18
everything that i do and basically
2:21
create what wasn't there when i needed
2:23
it 13 years ago so
2:26
even though the disability access and
2:29
inclusion has definitely advanced in the
2:31
last 13 years if i rewind the clock 13
2:34
years ago lying in a hospital bed
2:36
looking for hope looking for options and
2:39
looking for a unedited raw version of
2:42
how my life might play out over the rest
2:46
of my life
2:48
there weren't many answers to all the
2:50
questions that i had so
2:52
i have just literally gone out and
2:55
answered those questions myself gathered
2:57
the knowledge gather gathered the people
3:00
um and created the things that
3:03
many of us within the disability
3:04
community needed so for example having
3:07
my injury at 20 years old there were
3:10
no options for somebody who wanted them
3:12
to improve their quality of life after
3:14
an injury like this here in australia
3:17
the general mentality within our medical
3:19
system here is get you independent in a
3:21
chair and then whatever you do after you
3:23
leave hospital
3:24
is up to you
3:26
so i
3:28
wasn't happy or satisfied with that as
3:31
many of us go through who have had an
3:32
injury like this and when i speak when i
3:34
speak about disability and injury
3:36
obviously it's always going to be from
3:38
the perspective of somebody with a
3:39
spinal cord injury because that's what
3:41
i'm living with as well as jay i'm i'm
3:45
not familiar with your story robin so
3:48
please excuse my ignorance
3:50
but um yeah so i
3:52
i visited a facility in america which
3:54
was incredible as incredible as it was
3:57
we're still lacking um quite a number of
4:01
support systems be it mental
4:04
as well as emotional support so
4:08
i basically collected all the
4:09
information from around the world and
4:11
opened my own spinal cord injury
4:13
recovery center um here in melbourne so
4:16
we opened in
4:17
2013
4:19
it was eight years ago quick math not my
4:22
strongest suit um and then i
4:27
oh yeah definitely not my forte and then
4:30
i
4:30
just
4:32
went on to uh use my voice so my
4:34
background before my injury was
4:37
i was a veterinary nurse but i also was
4:40
um a musician so i sang and played piano
4:45
and wasn't able to sing the way that i
4:47
used to due to my level of injury i'm a
4:49
c5 incomplete quad so i had my vocal
4:52
chords tampered with during my three
4:54
surgeries um so i decided to use my
4:57
voice in different ways and given that i
4:59
set my facility up as a not-for-profit
5:01
organization i needed to go out and talk
5:04
about why
5:05
this facility was important and during
5:08
that was invited to speak at my high
5:10
school which i i was
5:12
politely told to leave
5:15
as a student
5:16
um which was
5:18
a huge awakening for me because i found
5:21
myself speaking about the things that i
5:23
wish somebody had spoken to me about as
5:25
a 16 year old when i had no idea what i
5:28
wanted to do with my life and i realized
5:30
that even with what i was going through
5:31
with my injury it was relatable to how i
5:34
felt when i was 16 like i had no answers
5:37
and i had no idea
5:38
what to do
5:39
and it turned out that 1200 students
5:42
could relate to that as well so i guess
5:44
that set a fire in my belly um to ensure
5:48
that even though i wasn't singing and i
5:50
wasn't expressing passion or emotion
5:53
vocally by singing i could
5:56
with speaking so
5:57
i've been doing that and that has been
5:59
an absolute game changer and life
6:01
changer for myself and
6:03
hopefully my audiences
6:05
and then in that i've found more gaps
6:08
within
6:10
you know the fashion industry the beauty
6:11
industry many many industries who
6:15
are not fulfilling the disability
6:17
representation
6:19
niche like they should be
6:22
so um yeah using my voice in that sense
6:24
to kind of call them out but at the same
6:26
time work with them to show them how
6:29
they can do better because i guess
6:31
you know the difference with somebody
6:32
who's
6:33
an injury that has led to a disability
6:35
is that we have had the life experience
6:38
of being somebody who is ignorant to
6:40
disability so we can have these
6:42
conversations from both perspectives
6:45
and instead of getting angry and pissed
6:47
off about the lack of inclusion and
6:49
accessibility
6:50
i think we have a little bit of
6:52
understanding as to why
6:54
things haven't happened as fast as we
6:57
we know they should have
6:59
um and i find that
7:01
you know approaching these conversations
7:04
with a sense of understanding instead of
7:06
going you know head first a wheel first
7:09
into them and being like you should be
7:10
doing better going into them you know
7:13
with a bit of empathy
7:15
generally has a better outcome
7:18
you do so many wonderful amazing things
7:19
and i feel like we could talk for hours
7:21
about it and i would love to do that but
7:24
we don't have hours today so my next
7:26
question i think we should give a bit
7:27
more of a highlight about the next step
7:29
and tell people a bit more detail about
7:32
what you do there
The Next Step
7:33
absolutely and then i'm going to ask you
7:35
to tell people about your experience at
7:38
the next step being a
7:40
og tns athlete as we call them but um so
7:43
the next step
7:45
i feel like that was the last time ago
7:47
but here we are
7:49
so long so the next step is a facility
7:53
that thrives on support for everybody
7:56
affected directly and indirectly by
7:59
whether it be a spinal cord injury or
8:02
any other disability or neurological
8:04
condition we are now open to the general
8:06
public because turns out everybody wants
8:08
to improve their life especially after
8:11
um but we incorporate
8:16
a bunch of holistic modalities that
8:18
complement exercise physiology which is
8:21
what our main
8:23
focus is exercise physiology so as i
8:26
mentioned earlier the general mindset
8:29
behind our rehabilitation systems in
8:31
australia and
8:33
you know just um
8:35
i ha i have to just say like disclaimer
8:37
here they exist to provide something
8:39
that is incredibly important but
8:42
the next step literally is the next step
8:44
like once you leave
8:46
here's an option for you so we
8:48
specialize in exercise physiology and
8:50
work the body as a whole so we don't
8:53
pinpoint
8:54
what's working and what's not which is
8:56
kind of what we go through going through
8:58
the hospital system
9:00
we literally treat the body as a whole
9:02
and like i mentioned earlier we support
9:06
everybody that's affected so you know
9:08
the families the support workers the
9:10
partners it's really a community of
9:14
people who have just come together and
9:16
needed
9:18
the information and education and the
9:20
options um jason's been there before so
9:24
he's experienced it and yeah it's it's
9:28
given me a purpose definitely you know
9:31
it gives me a reason to get out of bed
9:33
every single day post an injury like
9:35
this it's definitely helped me
9:38
overcome so many obstacles that have
9:40
been because of my injury and disability
9:43
but also because of things like events
9:45
that have occurred throughout my life
9:47
that would happen to anybody so i think
9:50
i i really think we should rename it a
9:52
trauma recovery center because we all
9:55
experience trauma
9:57
all of us every single one of us in some
9:59
way shape or form so
10:01
and that's what it seems like you really
10:02
focus a lot on now as well um you know i
10:05
went through seven or eight years ago
10:07
something
10:08
hectic like that i can't believe it's
10:10
that long ago when we first met but you
10:12
know the shift that i've seen in the
10:14
organization is this incredible like you
10:16
know that more holistic approach and
10:18
treating you know everybody
10:21
with that more holistic approach i think
10:23
is amazing and also treating like not
10:26
you know just specific symptoms of like
10:28
a spinal cord injury or something like
10:30
that and focusing just on you know
10:32
walking again it's more about like
10:34
recovery of like mind body soul and all
10:36
that kind of stuff so
10:38
i think
10:39
that's awesome and i've loved watching
10:41
that grow and i've loved watching you
10:43
grow as well and you know you saw me as
10:46
just like such a fresh little
10:49
man in a chair
10:51
i'm sure i've changed a lot since then
The Next Step Evolution
10:54
i think it's been it's been an awesome
10:55
kind of evolution for the facility
10:58
because obviously as i've evolved
11:00
throughout this injury and just
11:02
throughout life in general
11:04
so has the facility and being i guess
11:07
the founder the facility itself exists
11:09
because of what happened to me you know
11:12
so
11:13
i think when you have an injury like
11:15
this the initial goal is you know we
11:17
want to get back up on our feet and
11:19
that's for some not for everybody um but
11:22
i think since the day of inception with
11:24
the next step
11:26
the reason we decided to call it the
11:28
next step as opposed to other facilities
11:30
that have existed
11:32
with the word walk in their title or
11:34
their name is because it's never really
11:36
been about
11:37
you know
11:38
we've never highlighted the fact that
11:40
life can't be good unless you're walking
11:43
you know it's always been we're here to
11:45
improve your quality of life we'll
11:47
celebrate every achievement and
11:49
milestone in which we'll assist you with
11:51
like even if you can feel a fart for the
11:53
first time we're gonna celebrate that
11:55
but um you know in saying that yes we
11:58
have seen many people get back up on
11:59
their feet but i know as somebody who is
12:02
who is living with this injury
12:04
i had my own realization many many moons
12:07
ago that
12:08
my quality of life is going to be better
12:10
in a chair yes i can walk
12:13
like a drunk person
12:15
um but
12:16
i can do more in my chair and i can
12:19
actually generally be happier doing the
12:22
things that i did previously in a more
12:24
adaptive way in my chair
12:27
yeah and that's a big thing to break
12:28
down as well especially for people who
12:30
like
12:31
have an injury and and i guess acquire
12:33
disabilities you know there's this whole
12:35
thing that's always about like finding a
12:37
cure and
12:39
changing your body whereas you know we
12:41
like to come from the social model of
12:42
disability which is about like
12:44
you know regardless of your ability
12:46
regardless of what kind of symptoms or
12:49
what kind of impairments you may have
12:51
society should still be providing what
12:53
you need to actually thrive as a human
12:55
being so absolutely i love that and i'm
12:59
yeah yeah i think robin has one last
Representation Matters
13:02
question final question the question
13:03
that we like to add on talking about
13:05
breaking things down and evolving um why
13:07
do you think representation matters
13:09
whether that's in tv film or fashion
13:12
well i have two answers for that first
13:14
of all the people who are not including
13:17
those living with disabilities in
13:20
their
13:21
everything
13:23
um
13:24
it's a huge loss for them for a start
13:26
because they're losing money because at
13:28
the end of the day
13:29
all of us living with disabilities we're
13:31
still buying the clothes or wearing the
13:33
clothes we're still buying the beauty
13:34
products we're still living
13:37
you know in the same normalities as an
13:40
able-bodied person so you know boohoo
13:42
for all these people who haven't come to
13:45
this realization you're losing money
13:47
here
13:48
um and also because we are we being us
13:52
with disabilities we are human so
13:55
it's inhumane to not include us
13:58
we
13:59
like i just said we're doing all the
14:00
same things we're using the same things
14:03
i'm sure
14:04
i use a lot more beauty products than
14:06
some but you know we all need shampoo we
14:09
all need a toothbrush
14:11
you know like
14:12
where we are buying the things that
14:15
able-bodied people are buying for
14:18
the sake of this conversation these
14:20
people not including us they're losing
14:21
money why should they include us because
14:23
we're freaking human beings there's a
14:25
lot of money to be made basically and
14:27
that's the business case of it all so
14:29
absolutely lastly where can people
14:31
follow you and or hire you
14:34
uh you can follow me at rhiannon tracy
14:36
my real life across all social media
14:38
platforms and click the fun little links
14:41
in there to hire me what's the thing
14:44
don't have an only fans never going to
14:46
get one disclaimer
14:47
[Laughter]
14:52
we've got this recorded so if you ever
14:54
start one i can send it to you as a
14:56
little bit and be like you said
15:02
beautiful well that was so fun obviously
15:04
it was always going to be fun with that
15:06
big smiley face of yours and i'm sure
15:08
everybody loved getting to know you but
15:10
i think it's time now to jump in
15:12
analyzing sex lives of college girls so
15:15
robin can you kick us off with uh the
15:17
description it's basically just a comedy
Synopsis
15:19
show about a bunch of girls who are
15:21
going off to college for the first time
15:23
and it's their exploits or should i say
15:25
sex plates at uh
15:28
at uni and you know them trying to hook
15:29
up and
15:30
the general things that people do when
15:32
they first go off to college but i guess
15:33
interestingly for us it has a character
15:36
uh with a disability um called lolo no
15:40
that's the actor's name i can't remember
15:42
what the character is called but there
15:43
is a character with a disability yeah at
15:45
the college
15:47
yeah
15:48
and lola
15:49
is
15:51
i literally had that in my notes so it's
15:53
like lolo is just the best
15:55
yep
15:57
we'll kick it off ran in do you want to
15:58
just start us off by letting us know
16:00
what you thought about the disability
16:01
portrayal so i stumbled across this
Disability Representation
16:05
particular show
16:06
on one of those late nights of like i
16:08
have nothing to watch
16:10
and
16:11
it was so relatable in so many aspects
16:13
not only did they have representation in
16:16
not just the disability representation
16:18
but across many different minority
16:20
groups
16:21
i loved
16:22
this particular character and i'm
16:24
talking about the character in the
16:26
wheelchair that we don't remember her
16:27
name but we remember her we know her
16:29
name as an actress
16:30
um because she represented me like five
16:34
years ago so the crazy party girl in the
16:36
electric chair that was like running
16:38
into everyone and just not giving a
16:40
and making out with all the boys and
16:43
wearing the bloody clothes
16:45
um
16:47
yeah i just i loved that they actually
16:50
used a disabled actor as well because i
16:53
think as
16:54
a universe
16:55
we have progressed immensely when it
16:58
comes to not using able-bodied people to
17:01
play disabled people
17:03
so i'm loving seeing that across many
17:06
many different shows at the moment um
17:08
but i just loved that she was like this
17:11
young vibrant like
17:14
don't give a character and her
17:16
disability wasn't even really spoken
17:18
about i don't believe like again i
17:21
watched it a couple of months ago but
17:22
i'm pretty sure like there was no
17:24
pinpointing conversation about her
17:26
disability she was included amongst the
17:29
friendship group and none of the friends
17:32
really like
17:34
raised
17:35
that conversation she was really just
17:38
included she was just one of the gals
17:40
having a good bloody time
17:42
you know living her best life
17:46
yeah literally and going to naked
17:48
parties amazing i would never go to a
17:50
naked party oh my god i mean maybe i
17:53
would
17:54
i don't know no only friends no naked
17:57
parties anything else
17:59
yeah i mean never say never
18:03
true true
18:05
but you're right on the money like there
18:06
was it was incidental representation in
18:09
in terms of like nothing was actually
18:10
mentioned about i believe her name was
18:12
jocelyn by the way i do google that when
18:15
i may or may not have done that yeah
18:17
yeah
18:18
i may or may not have just done a really
18:20
quick google
18:22
uh and
18:23
yeah nobody actually mentions anything
18:25
about her disability at all and it's
18:28
amazing because that is what we need
18:30
more of because she just got to be this
18:32
like
18:33
confident like sex positive
18:35
sexy amazing woman who was just like
18:38
going about doing it i loved that the
Sex Advice
18:40
other characters were like going to her
18:41
for sex advice too like when does that
18:43
ever happen in like tv like she's so sex
18:46
positive and so confident of herself and
18:48
i feel like they always kind of portray
18:49
disabled people as these like naive
18:51
little like virgins but that's obviously
18:53
obviously not the case
18:56
and victims like victims there's always
18:59
a poor me mentality when it comes to
19:01
disability representation in film
19:04
yeah exactly like i feel like they might
19:06
have typecasted i don't know because she
19:08
seems like that in irl um
19:12
literally but also like it's just so
19:14
great to see that type of representation
19:16
and i'd like noted down that there was a
19:18
part where she was like i pull like she
19:21
was just like
19:23
like she absolutely slays like
19:24
she's
19:25
all the guys were just like checking her
19:27
out sort of thing so
19:29
i absolutely love that one thing i also
19:31
noticed was that there was also um
19:35
a point where it was probably where they
19:37
were like all rocking up on the first
19:38
day or something but there was like a
19:40
background character who was also a
19:42
wheelchair user there was a couple of
19:43
times in the b-roll where there was like
19:45
different characters rolling past yeah
19:47
so i thought that was awesome finally a
19:49
college that doesn't have just one
19:50
disabled person
19:53
literally because that's like our whole
19:55
thing is that like when it does happen
19:57
it's usually like only one token
19:59
character and i thought that was really
20:01
cool that they did that and it'll be
20:03
really interesting to see in future
20:05
seasons because if there aren't going to
20:06
be future seasons because it's
20:08
amazing but it'll be really interesting
20:10
future seasons to see if they like
20:11
integrate other i guess disability
20:14
experiences throughout as well
20:16
because i only noticed wheelchair users
20:18
so i sort of thought like they might be
20:19
interesting to show like invisible
20:20
disability or just something that's not
20:22
a wheelchair user so
20:25
yeah
20:26
did you notice anything you didn't
20:27
really like about it
College Entry
20:30
i was waiting for you to be like oh and
20:31
the college entry had ramps and knocked
20:35
upstairs or something like that because
20:37
i feel like you definitely did they i i
20:39
don't know
20:42
yeah
20:44
i don't know i wish i noticed that i
20:45
feel like i'm gonna go back
20:50
how the did she get in there
20:52
yeah like there's no ramps at all how
20:54
the how the hell did this girl get into
20:57
about school like
20:59
um
21:00
i mean i she just gets all the hot guys
21:02
to lift her in obviously
21:05
yes they were the same person
21:07
um
21:09
yeah i i mean like maybe they maybe they
21:12
could have included that
21:14
they could have included that maybe they
21:16
did and we just didn't notice but i
21:18
don't know like i'm not sure that there
21:19
was really nothing i could think of off
21:22
the top of my head but and that being
21:24
said you know like
21:25
13 years in a chair i'm still learning
21:29
disability things you know what i mean
21:31
like i'm
21:32
you know like i even get called out on
21:35
things that i miss
21:37
and that's how like even it doesn't
21:38
matter who i'm speaking to like i always
21:41
make sure that i throw those disclaimers
21:42
in there like you know i'm not perfect
21:45
nobody's perfect i'm still human
21:47
you know there's still things that i'm
21:49
learning and i think things keep
21:50
changing you know so dramatically that
21:53
sometimes it's really hard to keep up
21:54
with all the things so
21:56
um i can't think of anything from the
21:58
top of my head that i probably would
21:59
have included more of because i really
22:02
feel like she was just
22:04
there was no tokenism in any of the
22:07
characters it was just they were all
22:09
just there like they were all just there
22:11
doing their thing and i think i really
22:12
appreciated that because i feel like
22:14
tokenism is definitely a thing that is
22:17
very obvious more so probably to us in
22:20
the disability community but yeah that
22:22
was definitely not portrayed within this
22:24
show
22:25
i think for me like um she was obviously
22:27
one of the main side characters and she
22:30
gets a she gets a fair bit of airtime
22:31
but it would be nice to see her as like
22:33
one of the main four that would have
22:35
been that would have been awesome like
22:36
the character was so well done and so
22:39
well developed i think she could have
22:40
had more time even
22:42
yeah and i kind of missed her like in
22:44
the episodes yeah she wasn't there i was
22:46
like i want her
22:48
in this situation yeah she's so far
22:51
i mean i think i can speak from
22:53
experience with
22:54
castings
22:56
um and like shows like this only because
22:58
i
23:00
okay so i was
23:01
i was almost on this season of math
23:04
um and
23:06
there had also been talk about me
23:09
potentially casting for a bachelorette
23:11
role as well
23:12
and the
23:14
now i have a partner and i'm very very
23:15
happy and you'll never see me on any of
23:17
those shows like
23:19
yeah um i i know that they generally
23:22
throw these characters into the mix to
23:24
see what the reaction is
23:26
before they give them a pivotal role in
23:28
the series like this which i think is a
23:31
bit
23:32
um but again you don't know what you
23:34
don't know so a show like this i guess
23:36
you know at the end of the day
23:38
this is an investment for the networks
23:41
and for the show itself so maybe she
23:44
will get her own
23:45
you know shining lee role in the next
23:48
season let's touch wood let's hope and
23:49
pray that she does um because i feel
23:51
like definitely she played such an
23:54
amazing character that like you said jay
23:56
like they want to see more roles exactly
23:58
and it's time to see this type of thing
24:01
like this type of representation more
24:03
consistent as well across across the
24:05
board because it's like we shouldn't
24:07
just you know this whole podcast
24:08
shouldn't even exist we shouldn't have
24:10
to actually sit here and talk about
24:12
you know and then score and be so
24:14
excited that we've got like a disabled
24:16
character that actually is just like
24:19
awesome and incidental and sassy and has
24:22
sex and like
24:23
you know isn't desexualized and pitied
24:26
and all that crap like we shouldn't
24:28
actually have to be like yay but well
24:30
that's where we're at i think the
Disability Inclusion
24:32
world's still walking on eggshells when
24:34
it comes to dipping their toes and
24:35
they're disabled like disability
24:37
inclusion and that's what i want to see
24:39
just completely be abolished over the
24:41
next few years like
24:43
the arms and arms sorry i swear a
24:46
lot
24:48
sorry i'm a very passionate person um
24:51
but like throw the arms and arms in the
24:52
bin and don't just like wonder what's
24:55
gonna happen if you throw somebody like
24:56
this into the mix because at the end of
24:59
the day i go back to
25:01
we're human so
25:02
why the hell not why shouldn't there be
25:04
a character and also like the money
25:07
factor
25:08
yeah and like but like you said as well
25:09
before like the money factor for like
25:11
film and tv like
25:13
as if eternals would have done anywhere
25:15
near as well if they hadn't been more
25:18
like had hadn't been so inclusive like
25:20
that representation was great as well
25:21
and we've spoken about that in a
25:23
previous episode but because we talk a
25:25
lot a lot about i guess um like pleasing
25:27
able-bodied audiences and letting them
25:29
dip their toes in and stuff but at the
25:30
end of the day like the disability
25:32
community is huge
25:34
um so if we can tap into that market
25:36
like there's a lot of disabled dollars
25:38
so i think some of the the
25:40
nerves around that sort of just someone
25:42
just needs to do it like
25:44
yeah and people are like doing it but
25:46
slowly and i think you know
25:48
you know the ones that are going to do
25:50
it first are they going to be the ones
25:51
that get the maximum benefit and it
25:53
doesn't matter what industry like you
25:55
know fashion probably especially like
25:57
and i'm talking like campaign and i'm
25:59
i'm talking as well as editorial stuff
26:02
like
26:02
whoever does it well first is going to
26:05
see some mega money
26:10
on that i think it's time to give our
26:12
scores out of five on the inclusive
26:14
disability representation scale robin
26:17
did you want to kick us yeah man i was
Rating
26:19
so close to giving this a five like
26:22
but again like my only hesitation was
26:24
like i thought she could have been a
26:25
main character like i just i thought the
26:27
potential was there what that might
26:28
happen in the next season and then 100
26:30
like that that's getting a five but yeah
26:32
i gave it four and a half because i
26:33
thought it was it was pretty bang on the
26:34
money on this one
26:36
yeah i'm with robin here i'm four and a
26:38
half pending a five on the next season
26:41
there's always room for improvement i'm
26:44
i'm exactly the same i'm a four and a
26:46
half and i think you know come next
26:48
season if we do see more
26:49
more characters of disability or more of
26:52
jocelyn or lola's character
26:55
you know i think i would be a five as
26:57
well but
26:58
hopefully
26:59
there will be a season two and hopefully
27:02
they do what we want
27:04
all right let's tag them let's just call
27:07
them out
27:08
honestly and i think like that's one
27:10
thing as well as you know once people
27:11
become more educated around inclusion
27:14
and representation it is just about like
27:16
asking
27:17
for it because you know as much as we
27:19
say that the disability community as
27:21
well you know makes up roughly 20
27:24
of the population and we are you know
27:27
quite influential and we do have a lot
27:29
of money to to be spending um we also
27:33
you know aren't the majority so we do
27:35
still need allies to come and you know a
27:38
uplift us to
27:40
amplify a message in three also just
27:42
like if you're a consumer ask for better
27:44
like you know it's you know consumer
27:46
markets are so competitive it's like if
27:48
you if enough of you literally out there
27:51
are like asking for better
27:52
representation of people with disability
27:54
they're going to eventually listen
27:55
because
27:56
they want the money so
27:58
anyway that's my little rant over and i
28:00
think
28:01
that is all for this week's episode and
