Welcome to Demand and Disrupt, a Disability Podcast.

I am your host, Kimberly Parsley, and today I am here with someone very special.

I am here with Sam Moore.

How are you, Sam?

Well, I'm glad somebody thinks I'm special, Kimberly.

I'm doing great, and it's an honor to be back here on Demand and Disrupt for my second time.

I work at the Center for Accessible Living and stuff I didn't know and just also for our listeners.
