On episode four, DGWL welcomes their first guest, Christy Milan. Christy is a strong mom and powerlifter out of Miami, Florida. Christy shares her experience after being diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at 22, as well as the bullying and body shaming that surfaced at a young age. She now advocates for athletes with chronic illnesses while she balances work life, motherhood, and strength training.

A message from DGWL:We do our very best to ensure we are inclusive to all members of the community. Not very many podcasts consider the deaf and hard-of-hearing population, but we applaud those who do and challenge those who don’t. That said, we are looking for volunteers to help us transcribe future episodes--there are transcriptions available online for our current episodes--but we still need help! Please send us a message on our website--www.disabledgirlswholift.com--if you have transcribing experience and are interested in joining the crew!
