    Jay and Kym the work and overall content you two put out, is nothing short of amazing and you can feel the love and passion you have for what you're doing. I love the chemistry and humour you you both bring to everything I've seen from you thus far it really is well put together and most certainly inspirational. I might not be a disable person but from listening and watching you both discuss your various experiences, my eyes have been opened to things I've never considered before....you've educated me and given me a wider understanding on many of the issues you've brought up. I'm privileged to have stumble across your work and have nothing but love for you two and what you do, I hope that you continue to grow your brand and that your work continues to inspire people not just of colour but all races, both Disable and Non-Disabeled.

    I'm a sociology professor. I'm here because my students did an assignment on intersectionality, and one of them (a white woman) cited this video and shared what she had learned here. Thank you for the great educational resource!
