Bay Area Legends: Activist Alice Wong and The Power of Bringing Visibility to Disability
Manage episode 463000076 series 2097742
Writer and disability justice activist Alice Wong’s illness took her ability to speak without technological assistance, but she continues to make herself, and members of her community, profoundly heard. As part of our new series profiling legends of the Bay Area, Wong joins us to talk about her joyous approach to life and her recent MacArthur Genius win, and to share some favorite interviews recorded with StoryCorps as part of her Disability Visibility Project. We also check in with fellow disability rights activists about the evolution of the movement and the importance of being heard.
Guests:
Alice Wong, disabled activist, writer and community organizer; founder, Disability Invisibility Project; author, "Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life."
Yomi Sachiko Young, Oakland-based social justice organizer, disability justice dreamer
Sandy Ho, executive director of the Disability and Philanthropy Forum
Emily Flores, journalist and founder/editor in chief, Cripple Media
