In this episode of Beyond Beautiful, we’re going beyond the call for “a seat at the table” to explore what it really means to redistribute power and resources. Instead of waiting for inclusion, disabled people and other marginalized communities have long been building our own spaces — spaces rooted in access, care, and collective power.
Mandi highlights inspiring examples like The Axis Project, a gym created by and for people with disabilities, and Independent Living Centers across the country that embody disability justice in action. Through these stories, we’ll reflect on how self-determination, creativity, and community are reshaping what equity looks like in practice.
This episode challenges us to dream bigger — not just of being invited in, but of redesigning the room altogether.
