We’re so excited to re-release an amazing episode from earlier this year.. all about the intersection between race and disability, featuring our friend Kelli Caughman! She is a mother, wife, and a leading Black advocate in the Down syndrome community. Not only is Kelli the Black Families Director for the Down Syndrome Diagnosis Network, she created the Black Family Village in Indiana and serves on the board of Gigi’s Playhouse in Indiana. We’re so thankful for everything Kelli brings to our DS community and we’re especially grateful she’s joining us for another important conversation during Black History Month. Today, we’re exploring the reasons behind the lack of diversity on social media, the mental strain on Black advocates over the past year, and tangible steps to take towards becoming anti-racist. It’s time to listen, learn, and engage in relationships with people who are different from you online and IRL.
