In the past, the media has depicted disabilities as something monstrous, inspirational, or angelic. Author Rebekah Taussig's uneasiness about these stereotypes has led to her debut memoir, Sitting Pretty: The View From My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body. This book aims to paint a beautiful, dynamic portrait of a body that looks and moves differently than most. Rebekah joins us today to discuss how this story promotes her mission of building a more inclusive world.
