We’re back with the final installment of our mini series featuring some fabulous disability podcasts that the team has been enjoying lately. Here at Down to the Struts, we explore disability, design, and intersectionality, including the multitude of identities each of us holds and how they shape—and are shaped by—the world around us.
A new identity for Qudsiya showed up when she became a parent with a disability. She wanted to learn from the many disabled parents who’ve come before her, so she went in search of them. She was delighted when she found the ladies of Babies Down, Bottles Up, a podcast featuring blind moms, bold stories, and a splash of wine. Hosts Terrin, Josselyn, and Kisha know how to have a great time while getting real about life as blind parents.
Today, we’re sharing one of Qudsiya’s favorite BDBU episodes, “Canes, Trains, and Planes,” which offers practical advice for traveling with children while blind. The BDBU team and Down to the Struts are also cooking up a special surprise for our listeners, so stay tuned for that in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, be sure to subscribe to Babies Down, Bottles Up wherever you love to listen, check out the original episode page for Canes, Trains, and Planes, and, if you’re a blind parent, download the BDBU blind parenting toolkit for some fantastic and simple tools to guide you through the many phases and facets of parenting.
