EP98: 6Ts with Cerebral Palsy and Maysoon Zayid

Description

I used a wordplay about delivering jokes. Then, I used a quote by Josh Blue about understanding disabilities and his cerebral palsy. Next, I talked about comedian, actress and disability advocate, Maysoon Zayid. She did a TED Talk in 2014, “I got 99 problems… palsy is just one.”

In this week's RITE OF PASSAGE EXPERIENCES or ROPE, I talked about some of the healing rituals of Maysoon discussed at TED. I also talked about some of the common disability labels people get tagged with.
