Airtravel is hard; but, when you have a disability, it becomes almost like mission impossible.  On Monday, June 23, 2014 at 8:28 am, we arrived at the Southwest Airlines terminal at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport.  My partner has MS and uses a cane.  Walking any distance is exhausing for her and standing in one place for an extended amount of time is impossible.  So we always make sure that we clearly indicate PASSENGER NEEDS ASSISTANCE when we book her flights.  What happened next was not only a comedy of errors but it made my blood boil enough to come home and develop a show on the topic.  The Airline Carrier Access Act (ACAA) prohibits commercial airlines from discriminating against passengers with disabilities and also mandates that certain accommodations are provided.  Tune in as I share not only our experience but also experiences that some of our listeners have shared with me from my Tweet about Southwest Airlines.  The summer travel season is upon us; and, if you are flying with a disability--fly informed!  http://www.disabilitytravel.com/airlines/aircarrieract.htm Produced by Voice Republic For more podcasts visit http://voicerepublic.com

When you are under financial stress, did you know that this can impact your physical health? According to startfreshtoday.com, "Stress works an elite branch of your body’s military, specially trained to take emergency action in response to major threats. As soon as your brain senses danger, it goes into fight-or-flight mode and sends orders to outposts in the adrenal and pituitary glands to mobilize the hormones adrenaline and cortisol. these in turn send reinforcements to different areas of the body to increase blood pressure, heart rate, and energy for you to either fight or flee with all the might your body can muster. in a crisis, stress jolts us into action to save a life or meet an important deadline" (2012, pg.7) There is a lot of negative stigma about even considering filing bankruptcy; and, even more misunderstanding about post bankruptcy recovery.  Today, I'm going to spotlight the BEST KEPT SECRET in the bankruptcy circle--attorney Angel Van Wieren.  I will talk about the realities of bankruptcy; and, the questions you need to ask when you are selecting a bankruptcy attorney.  Angel Van Wieren: 675 Seminole Ave NE #102, Atlanta, GA 30307 http://www.vanwierenlaw.com/ (404) 963-7408.  This episode of Community Connections is sponsored by Audible.com, a leading provider of spoken audio entertainment and information.

Our lives matter! That was a statement from Lourdes Ashley Hunter, Co-Founder of the Trans Women of Color Collective (TWOCC).  It was her response to the news of yet another Trans Woman of Color found murdered in 41 days.  Her pain is real. Her fear is real.   Join Dr. Annise Mabry and Michelle A.
