Myth Busting - Rhinos are chubby unicorns

Be #PeopleSmart

Nov 3 2022 • 50 mins

Be #PeopleSmart Founder, Jodie Greer chats with Jamie Shields, registered blind ADHD rhino, about how it feels to embrace your own identities and the value of intersectionality.

Jodie and Jamie are busting the myths that:

"Human beings fit into nice, neat diversity pillars," and

"Being registered blind means seeing nothing."

Hear how Jamie taking ownership of his own disability and neurodivergence has taken him out of a very dark space into a change-making positive one. And how 3 men in his family, with the same visual disability have had very different life experiences.

You'll also hear why intersectionality matters to Jamie, as a disabled, neurodivergent, gay man, and why businesses need to ensure they aren't just looking at diversity in silos.

You can find Jamie on LinkedIn and you can find out more about Inclusivi-T and Jamie's podcast on his website.
