E38: “Bent But Not Broken” with Paige Fraser

Disabled Girls Who Lift

In this episode, Marybeth & Marcia sit down with Paige of the Paige Fraser foundation to discuss all things scoliosis advocacy. Paige shares a few perspectives and stories of how different bodies move differently with scoliosis. Not all with scoliosis are limited or in pain, and not all with scoli need surgery. Paige also shares the amazing work of her nonprofit organization which is building a community of resources for dancers who embrace disability. Host for this episode: Marybeth Baluyot (@merrbertt), Marcia Darbouze (@thatdoc.marcia) A message from DGWL: We do our very best to ensure we are inclusive to all members of the community. Not very many podcasts consider the deaf and hard-of-hearing population, but we applaud those who do and challenge those who don’t. That said, we are looking for volunteers to help us transcribe future episodes--there are transcriptions available online for our current episodes--but we still need help! Please send us a message on our website--www.disabledgirlswholift.com--if you have transcribing experience and are interested in joining the crew!
