In this week’s episode I sat down with Steffi Gonzalez. Steffi is a beauty, travel, lifestyle creator and model redefining disability representation. The first disabled Latina creator to join Sephora Squad, she has partnered with brands including Sephora, Rare Beauty, Disney, Aerie, and Amazon. Through her acclaimed series, *My Normal Is Not Your Normal*, she challenges perceptions and creates visibility for the everyday experiences of disability. We discuss re-defining access to accessibility, the power and responsibility of representation on social media, how there is no one definition of beauty and much, much more. This episode was edited and produced by Ben Curwin.
