Body Language

Grace Mandeville on setting the record straight with disability.

Listen on

Episode notes

Often when we see someone who uses a wheelchair or prosthesis, it’s easy to assume they had an accident. This is something Grace Mandeville - actress, presenter, designer and body activist - has spoken openly about. Grace was born with a foreshortened right arm, and in this episode speaks to Tasha about how she does not identify with the word ‘disabled’. Listen in as they unpick the language surrounding disability, and the importance of visibility for all bodies. For support: http://www.mind.org.uk
