The Mixed Crips Podcast

The Mixed Crips Podcast

Tash with an acquired spinal cord injury and Maria, neurodivergent, have conversations with each other and invited guests. The conversations range from awkward, challenging, personal and intimate. These guests are people who have experience with physical and/or cognitive mixed abilities. Subjects range from public treatment, misdiagnosis, and employment to relationships, sexual preference and monogamy (just to name a few). The Mixed Crips believe the need for discussion will spread awareness and create camaraderie in the greater community. So get a glass and lets make some lemonade!
