Season 1

Disability Empowerment Now

Season 1 is available

 

“Season 1 of Disability Empowerment Now was an introduction to disability topics (I.E. Disability Law, Service Providers and Community Outreach) for listeners who perhaps were unaware of the varied issues facing the disability community like accessible transportation and finding employment. In the first season, I featured different voices, from self-advocates and politicians to CEOs, both with disabilities and those who do not have any, and parent advocates.

While the theme came in the process of recording season 1, season 2 was planned out from the very beginning. It expanded from ten to twenty episodes and its overarching theme is Disability Arts and Culture. The new season is split into two parts and begins streaming at the end of this month. I could not be more excited for Season 2 and I hope you will enjoy it and tell your friends and family about it!” Disability Empowerment Now Host Keith Murfee said.
