Hosted by Faith & Zara
Welcome to the conversation where we trade filters for reality.
Sit Down With Us is a warm, honest, and fun look at disability and difference in a world that often speaks for us, but rarely listens to us.
Hosts Faith (living with Alopecia Universalis) and Zara (living with Spina Bifida) are moving beyond the typical "inspirational" stories to talk about the grit of survival. We’re exploring the parts of life that people usually avoid: from navigating healthcare and policy to the realities of the fashion world and creator space.
Through conversations with experts, advocates, and our own community, we are here to be seen, understood, and—most importantly—honest.
No filters. No scripts. Just Faith and Zara saying what needs to be said.
