"Disability identity is a journey, not a destination." When ableist society treats disability like a bad thing you shouldn't associate yourself with, it can be difficult to cultivate a positive sense of self that includes disability. This week, Shruti and Harper talk about their journeys with disability identity, from childhood experiences to transformative college years to where they are today in the ever-evolving journey. They also discuss the impact of having a strong disability identity on one's self, the disability community, and the world.
