An open, honest and on occasions humourous exploration of the lived realities of disabled and LGBT+ people. In each episode I will talk to someone who is both disabled and LGBT+ and discuss the challenges they face and how they seek to live their best life.

Meet the mighty Morgan!!
In this episode I speak to the irrepressible Morgan Martins who is a non-binary deaf person originally from Portugal but living in London. They talk to us about coming out as non-binary, how this was handled at work, waking up one morning and having lost their hearing and the subsequent difficult issue of having to give up surfing and riding their motorbike!!! They talk frankly about their top surgery and dealing with prejudice at work. They also talk about being part of the swimming community and their positive experiences of attending their local swimming club.
Morgan most definitely embodies the maxim to seize the day and they talk about being a DJ and how they appreciate music now they’ve lost their hearing. It was a real delight talking to Morgan and I hope you find it a great listen!
