    It's info-dump time - with Zahraa Al-Jameel
    Oct 14 2024

    In this episode, we’re excited to welcome our first guest, Zahraa Al-Jameel. Zahraa is a proud auDHD advocate, aspiring author, and content creator who uses her platform @autizticauthor on Instagram to educate and advocate on the different facets of disability, and autism from her unique perspective.

    


    Zahraa shares her experiences as an Iraqi-British autistic woman and discusses her journey to self-discovery, the importance of creating an inclusive online community for disabled and neurodivergent individuals, and her passion for writing. We also explore how Michael Jackson’s music has inspired her journey, shifting perspectives, and the significance of speaking up for what matters.
