   Steve Way Has Something to Say!

   In this episode of Everything You Know About Disability Is Wrong, we sit down with comedian, writer, producer, and actor, Steve Way. Steve Way currently stars as Alden on Hulu’s Furious and previously appeared on Ramy and Ramy Youssef: More Feelings. He has written for TIME and has been profiled by Forbes, Variety, Esquire, and Vulture. He also writes about disability and health care policy, bringing his trademark humor and directness to conversations about disability rights, accessibility, Medicaid, and health justice. Steve joins the show to talk about his role as Alden, his experiences navigating an inaccessible world, and what it means to be a disabled person in the public eye. He also shares why he refuses the pressure to be the “perfect” representative for disabled people and why telling your own story can be a powerful way to make space for a much bigger conversation. We also discuss accessibility, public transportation, Medicaid, health care, and health justice. Steve explains why making complicated policy issues understandable to everyday people is an important part of accessibility, and why plain-language communication can help more people understand how disability policy affects all of us. And, of course, there’s plenty of Steve’s signature humor along the way.

   Getting Dressed with Pride: Adaptive Fashion and the Power of Care with Josh Norris & Sidney Raz

   Disability Pride looks different for everyone. Sometimes, it begins with something as simple as getting dressed. In this special Disability Pride Month episode of Everything You Know About Disability Is Wrong, we are joined by Joshua Norris, CEO of Silverts Adaptive Clothing & Footwear and IZ Adaptive, and creator Sidney Raz to explore how adaptive clothing can be both a practical accessibility tool and a powerful form of self-expression. Joshua shares the nearly century-long history of Silverts, the world's first adaptive clothing company, and the mission that inspired him to lead an employee buyout to preserve the brand. Sid reflects on his life-changing cancer diagnosis, total stomach removal, and the ongoing process of navigating disability, grief, and acceptance in the public eye. Together, the conversation highlights why accessibility, fashion, and disability pride belong in the same conversation. The group also discusses the importance of adaptive clothing beyond function, how small acts of care can create meaningful change, misconceptions about cancer and disability, and why making accommodations for yourself is something to be proud of. Whether you're newly navigating disability, supporting someone you love, or simply interested in building a more accessible world, this episode is an honest reminder that disability pride doesn't require having everything figured out—it simply asks us to show up as we are. This episode is in celebration of a brand-new partnership between Easterseals, Silverts, and IZ Adaptive! From July 6–31, 5% of every purchase at silverts.com and izadaptive.com supports Easterseals programs across the U.S. and Canada.

   My Normal Is Not Your Normal: Confidence, Community, and Content Creation with Steffi Gonzalez

   In this episode, we’re joined by content creator, beauty influencer, and disability advocate Steffi Gonzalez for a conversation about representation, disability visibility, and what it means to take up space online unapologetically. Steffi shares how growing up around photography and beauty eventually led her into content creation, and how a simple moment with her husband changed the way she saw herself — and her wheelchair — on camera. From fashion and beauty influencing, to advocacy work and accessibility conversations with major brands, Steffi reflects on building a platform rooted in authenticity, confidence, and community. The conversation also explores mental health and boundaries as a creator, navigating online comments, internalized ableism, and the importance of disabled representation in beauty and fashion spaces. Steffi also discusses her Instagram series “My Normal is Not Your Normal,” where she highlights the different ways disabled people navigate everyday life while reminding audiences that different does not mean lesser. This episode is an honest, funny, and deeply thoughtful conversation about disability visibility, inclusion, and creating the kind of representation you wish you had growing up.
