Being disabled or having a chronic illness can feel like you’re moving forward in reverse.
I’m your host, Scott Martin.
Join me and my new friends from this underrepresented community as we talk about disrupting the status quo and creating change within the world and within ourselves.
Hey, life’s a road trip. Hop in. Let’s turn on some tunes and go!
This week's guests are Carla Birnberg and Catherine Njeri.
They did it! Carla was on the show a year ago as we discussed the concept of the Upili project. Well, like the famous words of Wilbur Wright to his brother, "The damn thing really does fly, Orville!"
Okay, maybe that wasn't said.
But Upili has taxied the runway and is in the air.
Visit https://www.upili.org and book a flight.

Diverse Abilities
This week's guest is Gina Martin.
The name of her company, Diverse Abilities, made me pause and read more.
Short. Sweet. and to the point. Diverse Abilities fit perfectly into the theme: "Diverse Abilities recognizes that no two people have the same skills, resources, opportunities or support systems."
Our discussion followed that same straight path. Okay, we ventured off the trail more than a few times. But we always followed the breadcrumbs back.

Nobody Will Know
This week's guest is Lynne "L.K." Bowen.
An author has only a moment to grab the attention of an agent or publisher. What is said or written is called the elevator pitch.
After a book is finally produced and placed on the open market, it boils down to the cover art to attract readers to crack the spine and become immersed in the storyline. In that same manner, I've titled this episode from a little piece of the cover of L.K. Bowen's debut novel, For Worse.
It wasn't just the fact that her "pitch" and cover grabbed me, but Lynne has something to say about Retinitis Pigmentosa in this gripping thriller. You see, like her protagonist, Ellie, she too has RP and her loss of sight is slowly closing in from all sides.
I'm tempted to dig into the storyline, but take a listen to our discussion then sit back with For Worse while the story pulls you in.
What's Lynne up to next? That's the next elevator pitch.
For Worse is available wherever good books are sold.
You can learn more about Lynne at her website https://www.authorlkbowen.com/ (https://www.authorlkbowen.com/)
