Dominating Diversity
I am a professional at a leading university that works tirelessly for equity, diversity, and inclusion. My website www.dominatingdisability.com already hosts so many blog articles from several writers on these topics. Welcome to my channel, because together we can dominate disability.
In these podcasts we explore why diversity matters, especially in Education, and how we just aren't there yet. In higher education especially, we encounter so much diversity with so many people thinking they are around diversity that aren't. I will also delve into Australian Aboriginal culture and how we aren't around this diversity yet either.

My Life with POTS: The Invisible Struggle”
In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, Brooke Tahir opens up about living with POTS — Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, a debilitating yet often invisible form of dysautonomia.
Far from just a fast heart rate, POTS affects everything from blood flow and energy levels to cognition and temperature regulation — making even basic daily tasks feel like uphill battles.
Brooke shares:
- What POTS actually is, and why it’s so often misunderstood
- The unpredictable symptoms and how they impact work, parenting, and public life
- Why medication wasn’t an option — and the alternative strategies she uses to survive and adapt
- How society's lack of awareness can be just as disabling as the condition itself
Whether you live with chronic illness or want to be a better ally, this episode is a raw, informative, and empowering call to action to rethink what disability and inclusion really mean.
Because not all struggles are visible — but they all deserve to be seen.
