Welcome to Living with Disabilities Advocacy Website
Hello, everyone. My name is Katrina, and I represent Living with Disabilities. You are currently on the Living with Disabilities website, an advocacy platform committed to promoting awareness of the disabled community. Our main goal is to enhance understanding of the diverse spectrum of conditions and disabilities. Accessibility is a vital element of this understanding, as, without it, exclusion occurs.

Living with Disabilities presents: Advocacy Table Podcast
Living with Disabilities is currently looking for disability rights activists or advocates to speak on various disability-related topics. For The Advocacy Table.
The Advocacy Table's concept revolves around pressing monthly topics within the disability community. It focuses on current issues that require attention and explores how individuals with disabilities can address these concerns.
How can you become a panelist?
Follow us on all our social media, including Facebook and Instagram, where we will post about the topic of discussion and look for panelists. A deadline will be given, along with information on what is needed from you. After everything is done, a Zoom link will be created with a date and time. Once we receive all panelist information, the Zoom link will be emailed or messaged to you through your social media accounts. We do ask that if anything does come up and you can't make it on the show, do reach out to the host so she knows, and if any panelists have contacted Living with Disabilities through social media, even the host, about making an appearance on the show, they will receive a Zoom link to be on the show. We want to keep it at five or ten panelists. The link will go out a week before the show is scheduled, and after the show is over you will receive a survey to fill out.

Quick Announcement: Season 11
Living with Disabilities, want to start the new year off with a new season. Before explaining the new season, Katrina, the host of Living with Disabilities wants to say, that Living with Disabilities will pick up from where we have left off. As you all know how the holidays can be and they are pretty busy. So, Living with Disabilities does want to apologize for not continuing on the articles, they have been moved and will be coming to you in 2025.
Season 11 will focus on various topics related to 2024, including our goal of featuring more individuals with disabilities on our podcast. We strongly encourage companies to contact Katrina to arrange interviews with their clients to have the clients reach out to her directly. This request arises from past issues, and we believe that allowing clients to communicate independently, rather than relying on a representative, will foster better interactions.
