Disability Dialogues
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you don’t know what to do or say because you don’t have any background knowledge or prior experiences? Welcome to Disability Dialogues! This is a bi-weekly podcast that spreads awareness about individuals with disabilities. I am your host Kimberly Walljasper, and together we will explore inclusion through expert interviews as well as personal stories. Whether you have experience with individuals with disabilities or not, this podcast is here to provide you with resources so that you can be educated in this area and build meaningful connections. As a pre-service special education teacher with over eight years of experience working with various nonprofits like the Penguin Project, Spectrum Project, and Best Buddies, I’ve had the privilege of learning firsthand about the diverse challenges and triumphs faced by individuals with disabilities. From navigating the early days of volunteering to becoming deeply involved in advocacy, I’ve gained valuable insights into inclusion, adaptability, and understanding. This journey has taught me the importance of patience, perseverance, and building genuine connections. I understand the concerns you may have because I’ve walked that path myself, learning and growing alongside the incredible individuals I’ve had the honor to support. Through my experience with individuals with disabilities, I discovered the incredible capabilities within every person, regardless of their challenges. This realization changed how I view inclusion, teaching me that everyone has a unique voice and story that deserves to be heard. This led me to start my podcast, where I can spotlight those stories and amplify voices often overlooked. Now, I want to share these powerful insights, personal triumphs, and practical guidance with you, helping to foster understanding and a more inclusive world for all. So, if you’re ready to make a change in the community, subscribe to Disability Dialogues.

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
