Performer Raji Gopalakrishnan is a close friend and collaborator of Zara’s, and the pair share
stories of making, baking and exploring together both online and in person on long walks in the
countryside. Raji is deafblind and uses tactile British Sign Language - using her hands to feel
the signs - and for this episode she is joined by her communicator-guide Sally McNeill, who
voices Raji’s interview. This is a buoyant conversation where Raji expresses her appreciation of
nature, appetite for travel and how dancing is her ‘happy-place’. She urges listeners to think
about inclusion and always try to be equal, and makes an appeal on behalf of all disabled
people - “don’t forget about us”.
