Palsys With Palsies

Justin Hancock and Bekah Maren Anderson, two disabled faith leaders and activists, explore disability, queerness, and advocacy through humor, compassion, and deep thought. With wide ranging conversations on everything from advocacy in a changing world, to the therapeutic qualities of broadway musicals, Bekah and Justin showcase the complexity, beauty, and creativity of intersectional, disability life. Justin experiences day-to-day life with Cerebral Palsy, and Bekah brings her perspective as a blind queer woman.
