Steven E. Brown On Creating A Disability Culture And Living One’s Purpose
Update: 2017-01-14
Description
Professor Steven Brown was rejected from his first job after earning his doctorate. Why? Because he was disabled.
He was totally qualified, and initially accepted, but the company didn’t want to hire someone with a disability. This rejection may have discouraged most people, but not him. It led to three decades of supporting, defending and advocating for the disabled community. He became a professor, author and co-founder of the Institute on Disability Culture. In this interview, Steven opens our eyes to a world many people can’t even imagine, teaches us how to follow our passion, overcome challenge and demand that every human being be treated with respect.
