Welcome to Disability Awesome. Each week, this post will feature a person or persons with mental and / or physical disabilities who are doing awesome things! As someone with an disability, I love it when others when disabilities do great things!
In this episode of the What It’s Really Like podcast, I’m joined by actress, writer, and disability advocate Lolo Spencer for a candid conversation about identity, representation, dating, and life as a disabled woman in the entertainment industry.
We discuss intersectionality, Lolo’s experience as a Black disabled woman, navigating relationships and dating, breaking stereotypes around disability and sexuality, and her role on HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls. We also dive into acting, advocacy, accessibility in Hollywood, and the importance of authentic representation both on and off screen.
Whether you’re interested in disability advocacy, intersectionality, entertainment, dating, or representation in media, this conversation offers honest insights, plenty of laughs, and an important perspective that isn’t heard nearly enough.
