Self Care Sundays

Alice Wong, co-creator of #CriptheVote and creator of the Disability Visibility Project, shares her journey into self-care. She shares how her journey into self-care began as she realized that her body could not handle the exertion she was demanding from it. We discuss how she learned to set expectations that made sense for her within her unique strengths and limitations. Alice discusses the importance of saying, "no, thank you" to maintaining self-care. She remind us that if people want our free labor or can't respect boundaries then, "that's too damn bad". Her insight into how our identities play into these expectations was profound. Finally, we discuss the journey into identifying as disabled.
