I'm back with Season 4 of The Imprint podcast I speak with Marrizles, Collector living with Disability and Chronic illness.
Q1 has been an interesting time to say the least. With brands/retailer ABLEISM at it highest for those who are exposed to it on daily basis and no consideration to the disabled community who try to be part of the sneaker eco-system.
We sat down and discussed the challenges we face around the lack of "Inclusivity" within the sneaker community and made to feel left out of the sneaker eco-system completely with the lack of accessibility or information provided to attending these events.
There are many restrictions in place as well as a lack of access for any of us with any kind of disability.
“If” and “When” the change will come when society and brands includes disabled people and stop being ABLEIST this will bring a next level of “INCLUSIVITY”, that’s when I/we might venture out again…Brands and Retailers need to do better!
I Will Bother You Time And Time Again Until You Get It Right!
BE THE REASON SOMEONE FEELS WELCOMED, SEEN, HEARD & VALUED!!!
