As people with disabilities we've had limited opportunities to share our own views and experiences. Our World, Our Thoughts, Our Voices is our effort to change that. We hope to bring a fresh perspective about topics that are important to us and we think matter to you too. We're determined to make our voices heard and we plan to have fun doing it. Tune in to our podcast and be part of the experience.
In this episode, we have fun engaging each other in a conversation about what's important for us about the holidays and diving into what we are looking forward to about them this year. We also discuss some of our traditions and what type of foods we enjoy during this festive time when a dose of holiday goodwill and cheer is especially welcome in a challenging world.
