Super Adaptables Podcast

Where There’s A Wheel, There’s A Way - Super Adaptables Podcast 5/23/24

Since the beginning, disabled people have been a part of society. Though historians weren’t keeping a census on our community in 1552 B.C., the first recording of someone with a mental disability was put in a document called the Therapeutic Papyrus of Thebes. Fast-forward to 1655, the first self-propelled wheelchair was created by a paraplegic German watchmaker named Stephan Farfler. And now in 2024, Connecticut wheelchair users have helped pass the first law in the U.S. that protects wheelchair users from horrific months-to-years-long repair delays fueled by dominating private equity business practices. Whether you are born with or acquire a disability at a later point, having one doesn't mean you shrivel up and disappear - it means you are now a part of creating a more diverse and inclusive world, one step or wheel at a time.

Join us in a roundtable discussion among people with disabilities and the general public where we seek to encourage each other and raise awareness about various topics through open and honest dialogue. Our monthly meeting is hosted and moderated by Corey “PHEEZ” Lee, a C4 complete quadriplegic, Hip-hop artist, and More Than Walking Peer Mentor Coordinator, and Jonathan Sigworth, a C7 complete quadriplegic and More Than Walking CEO. Participate in future podcast discussions by signing up for our newsletter or Zoom events at ⁠https://www.morethanwalking.com/register. Listen as a podcast at https://anchor.fm/morethanwalking.
