  • Summary

  • “I've been blind since birth and I've always experienced this. This was not a surprise to me at all, that this was rated highly…The reality is that kids are cruel, and I did definitely get my share of teasing and bullying and those sorts of behaviours. I did learn very early on to reframe those behaviours and recognise that actually they weren't really about me. They are a fear-based response. People are fearful of difference.” - Emma Bennison

    In this episode, Angel talks with Emma Bennison, disability advocate and Board Member of Attitude Foundation, who is no stranger to being on the receiving end of teasing or mockery.

    On the day she was invited to participate in the Attitudes podcast, Emma's 16-year-old daughter came home from school with a story about how she was teased for having parents who were blind.

    Emma didn't need to think twice about choosing this topic. In their chat, Angel and Emma delve into why they think people make fun of those with disability and how people with disability can respond in those situations.
