Report
In This Episode In this episode, Diana interviews her long-time favorite, internationally-known, badass disability rights activist, widely known as the "Mother of the Disability Rights Movement," Judy Heumann. They discuss the importance of acknowledging our interdependence within the disability rights movement, and the importance of including disabled people within other social movements. Judy talks about what we should be focused on when it comes to disability awareness, and language related to disability, and how we should be thinking about inclusivity not just for students with disabilities, but for all marginalized groups. Finally, Diana and Judy have some fun with rapid fire questions at the end of the interview! *Chingona means "Badass" in Spanish   Judith Heumann Bio & Website    Links Mentioned or Related Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist Rolling Warrior: The Incredible, Sometimes Awkward, True Story of a Rebel Girl on Wheels Who Helped Spark a Revolution The Heumann Perspective Podcast Crip Camp Netflix Documentary Website Crip Camp Netflix Documentary Free on You Tube "Inspiration Porn" Defined by Stella Young TEDxTalk Judy's Interview with Ady Barkan and Nick Bruckman on The Heumann Perspective Ady Barkan, (Ady's "Be a Hero" campaign) Nick Bruckman "Not Going Quietly" Film Itzhak Perlman World Class Violinist Ali Stroker Actress Marlee Matlin Actress   Stay Connected with Diana Diana's Website, including blog Free Resource - 5 Keys to Going Beyond Awareness  Beyond Awareness: Bringing Disability into Diversity in K-12 Schools & Communities - Diana's Book Ed Roberts: Champion of Disability Rights - Diana's Children's Book Ed Roberts: Champion of Disability Rights Thematic Unit/ Disability History Lesson Plans "Beyond Awareness" Digital Course Diana's TEDx Talk Beyond Awareness Facebook Page Diana on Instagram Beyond Awareness Tote Bag  Beyond Awareness Pullover Hoodie Beyond Awareness Raglan Baseball T-Shirt Beyond Awareness Journal/Notebook Diana's Teachers Pay Teachers Store - Disability as Diversity Diana's Brand New Resource!
