101. Jalondra Davis on Race, Disability, & Advocacy

Valerie Schlieder

Have you ever thought about what enables you to ignore certain injustices in the world but not others? Do you feel safer advocating in certain spaces as opposed to others? Is privilege allowing you to pick and choose what and who you advocate for? There’s a lot to unpack here, friends.. that’s why we are so grateful that Jalondra Davis has joined us once again to discuss all things race and disability. She is a Black feminist, artist, and intellectual. She has a 5 year old son with Down syndrome, a PHD in ethnic studies, and a Master’s degree in creative writing. Today, we’re covering everything from the aftermath of last year’s Black Lives Matters protests, to racial inequity in the disability community, and what Jalondra is realizing about her son’s identity as he grows up. We hope you join us for this important conversation, friends! Enjoy.
