Manage episode 292953077 series 2849009
As a huge advocate for inclusivity and being of service, Justin Graves embodies that very purpose in everything he does, especially through his organization, He’s On Wheels. Tune in as Justin shares his experience of thriving with a disability, what inclusion means to him, and how he promotes that in all of his work. Dr. Alfiee and Justin also chat about the struggles of feeling invisible, how to be of service to others, and why we need to get comfortable asking hard questions (and how to ask them!). Join the discussion and uncover how even the little things you do can create inclusion in your community and allow everyone you encounter to feel valued and loved.
KEY POINTS / MAIN TAKEAWAYS:

- Thoughts on privilege, code-switching, and picking your battles.
- How to maintain a positive mindset and protect your mental health.
- Turning Cancel Culture into Counsel Culture.
