Shamelessly boosting a podcast

For  Disability Pride month, I am 100 percent shamelessly boosting the podcast, ''I Weigh with Jameela Jamil.''  For those of you who may not know, ''I Weigh,'' hosted  by the amazing Jameela Jamil from ''The Good Place,'' is a podcast fighting against shame  and promoting mental health. I LOVE Jameela Jamil because as a famous person with a disability, called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, she truly makes the effort to elevate the experiences of people with disabilities. In both her interviews with Jillian Mercado from ''The L Word Generation Q''' and Lauren ''Lolo'' Spencer from ''The Sex Lives of College Girls,'' Mx. Jamil  discusses the importance of having people with real disabilities being represented on screen. Being a person with Cerebral palsy who has thought about disability representation for 14 years, it feels deeply validating to hear a Hollywood actress talk about this issue with such passion. So thank you Jameela Jamil.
