I’m so appreciative to be joined by Hollis Peirce on this episode of the TyePod! Hollis is a disability advocate and podcast host of 21st Century Disability.
Hollis talked about higher education support for people with disabilities and his efforts to set up an endowed bursary at his Alma Mater Carlton University! He also shares a similar healing journey to my own following a lengthy stay in the ICU at the height of the COVID pandemic.
✨ Next time on The TyePod I am joined by Danielle who is a digital creator (@_daniellevates)!

Accessible Image Description:
The podcast cover features a scenic outdoor landscape with a grassy field, scattered rocks, and tall autumn trees beneath a softly clouded sky. Centered near the top is a large white banner outlined in black with bold black text reading “THE TYE POD.” Below the banner are three figures: on the left, a smiling man with glasses, a beard, and short brown hair wearing a dark collared shirt; in the middle, a cartoon-style avatar of a person with glasses, a beard, and a black cap seated in a power wheelchair; and on the right, a smiling man with glasses, a mustache, and a light beard wearing a green shirt. Near the bottom, a white text box reads “S2E67 AKA ‘People with the same disability live it differently.’” Two black rounded tags beneath it display social media handles.
