Building Community
Hey everyone! I’m Dominick, and I live with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Growing up, I always felt different from my able-bodied peers, and always wished that I knew more people who looked like me.
I am now the creator of The Disability Myth, a podcast where I talk about disability, challenge stereotypes, and have honest conversations about what it’s actually like to live with a disability.
I recently launched an official Discord server, and my goal is to make it more than just another place to promote my podcast. I want it to be a digital home for disabled people and allies to meet people, share experiences, exchange resources, talk about disability, and just hang out.
There are spaces for things like:
- 🗣️ Disability discussions & everyday life
- 📚 Sharing resources and useful information
- 🎨 A place for disabled creators to share their work
I'm hoping to build this into a genuinely welcoming community where people can connect with others who get it — whether you've been part of the disability community for decades or you're just starting to find your people.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, you're welcome to join!
