In Relationship with Ryan Easterly

In our second episode of Season 2 of Becoming the Vision, we’re excited to welcome Ryan Easterly, Executive Director of the WITH Foundation! In this episode, Ryan articulates a vision for freedom that fundamentally involves being "in relationship"—with all the identities that shape who we are and with others in the safety of community. He powerfully argues that this vision requires full inclusion of people with disabilities, moving beyond tokenization. Ryan also highlights that community can sometimes harm, emphasizing the need for ongoing adjustments to ensure everyone is accommodated.

When disability inclusion is real, we all thrive!
