*Listen to Hannah's mother in episode #1*
🎙Today on Décalés - Out of Sync, Hannah talks about embracing her full identity through theater, community and learning how to ask for help.
The theater is where she feels most at home. “Nothing can be erased or edited on stage. I can come as I am, my mobility aids are just a part of my character and I am a part of the story, just like everyone else”.
She and her twin were born 27 weeks premature and Hannah was diagnosed with cerebral palsy after having a brain injury at birth. Not so many kids shared their experience in rural Vermont where they live, making it hard for her to embrace her full identity... Until she discovered Zeno Mountain Farm and later on a women’s empowerment program where people with disabilities were expected to help each other. For the first time, it wasn’t the able bodied’s job.
As she thinks about college applications next year, her top priority is to find a fully accessible campus.🎙️
💭 Décalés is a French word that embraces the feeling of being out of sync, individuality, acceptance, perspective, quirkiness – all in all: marching to the sound of your own drum.
