MOVE TO INCLUDE
The Move To Include Podcast puts the voices of people with disabilities at the center of the conversation about inclusion, and how they became Self Advocates in the pursuit of autonomy, equality, and independence.
The podcast dives into the real experiences of people with disabilities navigating systems like the workforce, healthcare access, even relationships.
Through candid interviews with host Noelle Evans, Self Advocates share the moments that shaped them and the changes they’re working toward in their own lives and communities.
The Move To Include Podcast is designed for people with disabilities, caregivers, allies, and anyone who wants to better understand disability rights and the power of speaking up.
Our first episode drops January 12, 2025. New episodes are released on the second Monday of the month.
Move to Include is a partnership between WXXI and The Golisano Foundation that promotes disability inclusion, representation, and accessibility in public media.
Additional support is provided by Mary Cariola Center and the URMC Strong Center for Developmental Disabilities.
EXITED
When young people finish high school, they need to figure out what to do next. Growing up can be a daunting experience for everyone, but for people with disabilities, it can feel like arriving at a cliff.
Exited is a podcast that explores this moment through the experiences of eight young people and their families. It's about growing up and trying to find a place where you belong -- when you've been told your whole life that you're different.
This podcast is from WXXI's Inclusion Desk, a multi-platform reporting effort to inform and transform attitudes and behavior about inclusion. The Inclusion Desk grew from the Move to Include partnership between WXXI and the Golisano Foundation. Through programming and special events, WXXI and the Golisano Foundation look to build a more inclusive community by inspiring and motivating people to embrace different abilities and include all people in every aspect of community life.
