#67 - Enabling the Disabled through Dance!
Manage episode 299387226 series 2847785
When it comes to “inclusion”, what comes to mind for many of us is race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. But what about people with disabilities? According to the World Bank, 15% of the world’s population experience some form of disability and yet, there are still huge barriers that stand in the way of the disabled to live full and vibrant lives. Marisa Hamamoto, a trained dancer who was temporarily paralyzed, is trying to change the perception of people with disabilities through dance. In 2015, she started “Infinite Flow”, a nonprofit and professional dance company composed of dancers with and without disabilities using dance to promote inclusion and celebrate intersectionality. Marisa was named 1 of 13 People Magazine “Women Changing the World 2021” and listed on InStyle Magazine “Badass 50 2021”. She shares with May her own story of struggle and how her calling to help elevate the disabled has given her true purpose.
