This week Rob and Ryan welcome Kimberly Parsley, a blind podcaster from Kentucky, to the show to discusses her podcast "Demand and Disrupt," which focuses on disability issues beyond blindness. She shares her personal journey including her rare genetic disorder, Von Hippel-Lindau, which led to her blindness and loss of hand function and we talk about the need for continuous advocacy, the balance between calling out and calling in organizations, the impact of younger advocates, and the potential for positive change in disability representation, and much, much more!
