9. living as a blind actress in the creative world and how it impacts mental health with Alicia Grace Chenier

When you hear the word 'disability,' what comes to your head?

Unfortunately, many think of the terms 'unable' or 'superhuman?' In today's society, there seems to be this stereotypical view toward the disabled community where we either can't or super can.

In reality, a disability is just a spectrum where each individual has strengths and weaknesses.

As an autistic ADHD woman, I can find it very disabling to do certain things while also finding it very enabling to do other things - especially when it comes to doing creative things.

The media industry hasn't done the best representation when it comes to showcasing the disabled community but there definitely seems to be some small improvement when it comes to advocating for the disabled community.

I had the pleasure of interviewing, Alicia Grace Chenier, on the podcast who goes in full depth about what it's like to live in the creative world as a blind actress.
