A Little Something Extra, with Nancy Gianni and The GiGi is the first video podcast hosted by an individual with Down syndrome!
In this inspiring and joy-filled episode, our hosts Nancy Gianni, GiGi Gianni, and Franco Gianni come together to kick off Down Syndrome Awareness Month—or as we like to call it, Down Syndrome Acceptance Month. It’s a powerful conversation about language, leadership, love, and how each of us can help create a more inclusive world.
From GiGi’s unforgettable speech at the United Nations to the incredible value people with Down syndrome bring to the table, this episode is packed with powerful moments, laughter, and practical ways we can all champion inclusion...not just in October, but year-round.
You’ll hear about:
Why we say Acceptance Month instead of Awareness Month...and why that language shift matters
GiGi’s leadership journey and the impact of her speeches
Corporate responsibility and how companies can help spread the message
The #1 piece of advice: “Just roll with it”
Simple ways you can spread love and acceptance this month
Whether you're new to the world of Down syndrome or a longtime supporter, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that true inclusion starts with introduction, connection, and a whole lot of love. Because this month, and every month, we all have the power to make a difference. Let's do better. Let's be better. And let’s celebrate all the amazing things that come with a little something extra.
