Hi,
This is a fascinating video posted on Ted talks and is of course available on youtube as well. However as some of us have had trouble being able to access it from Ted, I am posting a youtube link here as well. Take your pick. Stella young tries to bring home the truth that disability does not make us exceptional through this talk. Stella Young: I'm not your inspiration, thank you very much http://t.co/zVZfvoGIYV youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K9Gg164Bsw Stella Young is a comedian and journalist who happens to go about her day in a wheelchair - a fact that doesn't, she'd like to make clear, automatically turn her into a noble inspiration to all humanity. In this very funny talk, Young breaks down society's habit of turning disabled people into "inspiration porn."
