Why Call Me Disabled?

This is a conversation on the disabled identity, discussing the various journeys of identifying as disabled, and all the amazing and difficult in-betweens. Asking the world, ever so subtly, to drop the euphemisms around disability. It’s okay to say disabled. Disabled is not a bad word.

Each episode consists of a conversation with a disabled person and host, Poppy Field

“Since my childhood, I've had a rollercoaster of experiences with my disabled identity. Living with chronic illness, chronic pain, neurodivergency, and in particular, inaccessibility. I know how complicated our relationship with disability can be.

We'll be sharing disabled people’s stories of identity, and what that means to them. As well as discussing what want the future to look like for everybody. Temporary, non-disabled and disabled, you included. Call Me Disabled aims to give tangible takeaways and tools for everyone, disabled and non-disabled.”
