No Labels
|
Join Thomas Bryan as he explores the diversity of disability issues.
For December's show, Thomas talks with Bronwyn Haines. Bronwyn is a queer disabled activist auntie from Te Awakairangi (Lower Hutt), who lives in Newtown, Wellington. She works for the Disabled Persons Assembly, and has a background in human resources, government services, and conflict resolution. She has been a consumer representative for disability and mental health services across the Wellington region's 3 district health boards. She has also been a board member and Executive Advisor for InsideOUT, a national queer youth charity. Her favourite things are food, books, crafts, peppermint tea and cats. No Labels is a programme about your community with a focus on accessibility for all. The show looks at services which might assist you, and highlights topics and challenges that might pose barriers for older people, or those living with or experiencing disability. In each programme we interview someone from the community whose role, paid or voluntary, provides topical and current information relating to our community. Each show has a disability/accessibility focus and the issues this might pose for our community. Guests share about their role in the community, a little about themselves and their favourite music. Tune in every week, Tuesdays, at 1pm. If you want to get in touch with Thomas, send him an email. |
