Show Notes

In this episode, Mandi talks with Bryanna Copeland — a mom, Master of Social Work student, participant in the 2026 Miss Wheelchair New York competition, disability advocate navigating motherhood, higher education, and public spaces as a wheelchair user.

Bryanna shares her experience as a Black disabled single mom, including the barriers she faced with a local transportation company that led her to pursue legal action. But this conversation goes beyond litigation. Together, we explore intersectionality, advocacy, parenting, and how society often misunderstands independence when it comes to disabled people.

Released on International Women’s Day, this episode highlights why disabled women — especially disabled women of color — deserve recognition for their leadership, resilience, and advocacy.
