85 - Nobathembu Peter on Shifting Social Stereotypes of Disability

Loading player...
In this episode I chat with road accident survivor, social media influencer, and model, Nobathembu Peter, aka Royalti On Wheels, on the importance of shifting society’s stereotypes of disability.

During the conversation we discuss the advocacy work being done by Nobathembu, the book she is currently writing, and the importance of companies understanding that persons with disabilities are also consumers, and reflecting that awareness in the media.
