Episode Notes

Language is the cornerstone of the human experience and as we all know words have power. However, what kind of power have the words we use to identify ourselves been appropriated, corrupted and used to bully or belittle? How have we taken back these words and used them in our own advocacy and identity? As the rainbow expands how important is it for our community to educate and advocate for proper language usage

This is the third in a series of powerful conversations surrounding the identities and challenges of the LGBTQ Community. For previous episodes goto www.ACBMedia.org and choose Podcasts and Pride Connection.

Episode Notes

This week several BPI members got together to discuss the unique obstacles we face as blind LGBTQ+ people during the holidays. We discuss everything from dealing with how our families react to our sexuality and gender identity when we get together for the festive season, to overcoming challenges with depression when everyone else seems so jolly. This episode was extremely cathartic to be a part of and we encourage you to write in with your comments at [email protected].

Episode Notes

Over the past few months Blind pride international has partnered with Bold Blind Beauty for the awakening the senses conversations.

With the holidays approaching, we spoke about different ways of celebrating, opening up and being vulnerable, and some misconceptions about dating Blind/sighted people, and of course sensuality and sexuality.
