This is a new podcast that will be hosted by Marcus Carlton and Holly Leonard. We will strive to be a platform that empowers the voices of people with disabilities. The podcast will do this by sharing the stories of those with disabilities and those that support them. We want to change the perception that people with different needs are not "normal". Who wants to be "normal" anyway. We are all different, it is what makes us beautiful individuals humans.
