About this listen

Today we are joined by Divas with Disabilities--Tameka Citchen-Spruce, Zazel-Chavah O'Garra and Samiyah Muhammed. They discuss the ups and downs of navigating life and the entertainment industry with disabilities and how Hollywood often gets it wrong when it comes to representing women of color with disabilities.

These Divas are making great strides to bring factual representation to the screen and stage for themselves and other divas with disabilities!
