Disability Pride Month | Embracing Identity

Welcome back to "Pushing Forward with Alycia | A Disability Podcast" We kick off Disability Pride Month by discussing the significance of celebrating the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Join Alycia Anderson and special guest, business partner and husband, Marty, as they explore the empowering aspects of disability, the challenges faced by the disabled community, and the importance of embracing our identities.

Discover the true power and potential of disabled individuals and learn how we can create inclusive spaces for everyone.
