Finding Avalon: Storytelling, Advocacy & Life

DisabiliTEA: Conversations for Change

Settle in as we spill the tea on all things disability. Join award-winning disabled advocate Jenna Barnable for DisabiliTEA, a special edition video series of the Finding Avalon Podcast.

When one in four Canadians live with disability, chronic illness and neurodivergence, we need to get comfortable talking about it – and taking action, together.

Because, sometimes, real change starts with a candid conversation over a hot drink and the courage to share and learn. Ready to spill the DisabiliTEA?
