The Unexpected Journey: Down Syndrome, Stigma and Advocacy with Julie Fisher | eZaango Podcast Ep. 4

"He is a son and a brother first. He is a person, and Down syndrome is a part of who he is." In this episode of the eZaango Podcast, we sit down with Julie Fisher, award-winning author, radio host, national speaker and mum. Julie shares the story of her son Darcy, who lives with Down syndrome, and the journey that turned her family's experience into a life of advocacy. It is an honest, warm and often funny conversation about seeing the person before the disability, navigating stigma and the stares that come with it, and choosing kindness over conflict. Julie talks about the books she has written, the beautiful stories behind them, her radio show The Unexpected Journey, and the simple philosophy that has carried her through it all: say yes, and then work out how. Whether you work in the sector or simply want a reminder of how much a little understanding matters, this one will stay with you.
