"I Identify As Blind" | Blind, Black, and Badass
Lachi thinks the way we talk about disability is boring, so she’s here to make it glam, loud, and impossible to ignore. This week, the boys are joined by recording artist, Grammy Trustee, and CEO of RAMPD, Lachi. She breaks down why she went from throwing her white cane into traffic as a kid to turning it into a high-fashion statement today. We dive deep into the concept of "Maladaptive Daydreaming" (and Jer’s sudden realization that he definitely has it), the crucial difference between the "Charity Model" and the "Social Model" of disability, and why Lachi’s new book title, I Identify as Blind, is pissing off the internet in the best way possible.Check out RAMPD: rampd.orgFind Lachi: lachimusic.com | @lachimusicFollow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord!
