The Tortoise with Brooke McAlary

Advocacy and care with Hannah Diviney

Nov 17, 2021

Hannah Diviney is a leading disability rights advocate, writer, student and Young Australian of the Year nominee, who joins Brooke to dig into the question so many of us have faced this year: “How can I care sustainably?”

This episode delves into the spaces between Big Care (activism and advocacy) and Small Care (connection, creativity and rest), and the inevitable tension faced when we feel drawn to both kinds of care.

Hannah and Brooke chat about burnout, rest and self-care through the lens of disability, the toll that comparison takes, story-telling and why disability representation in pop culture matters so much. They also talk about why Hannah is taking on Disney, in the hopes of one day seeing a Disney princess with disabilities.

Enjoy!
