Description

In this episode, Jess sits down with her Melissa Guevara, a good friend and Executive Director of the nonprofit organization, BIRTHFIT for Everyone. Melissa not only has a master's degrees in Early Childhood Special Education and Administrative Services, but also works as a Special Education Administrator all while raising her incredible three-year old autistic son. In this episode we get to talk about:

• How her journey thus far as a parent with an autistic son has changed her perspective on parenting and teaching
• Why Equal access and normalizing “different” is so deeply important and how the greatest challenge of the disabled community is society itself
• Her work in the birth world and the intersectionality of her advocacy for disability and maternal rights
• and so so much more!
