Business Without Bullsh-t

The Problem With “Inspiration Porn” according to fashion pioneer Victoria Jenkins

Dec 18, 2024
56:04

EP 361 - This is an absolute cracker from the archive for you this Christmas, one that will help you see the world around you through other people’s eyes.

We meet adaptive and universal fashion pioneer Victoria Jenkins (don’t worry, she explains the difference between the two).  We talk about how successive governments have created a truly hostile environment for disabled people. Why 2023’s “Ask Don’t Assume” campaign was, frankly, a right pain in the “ask”.  And the problem that Victoria has with "inspiration porn” in general, and the Paralympics in particular.

There is also quite a lot of chat about velcro.
