Talking with Imani Barbarin for Alter State

In October 2022, I had the pleasure of chatting to Imani Barbarin, a Black American Disabled woman, about disability activism and art. I have been online friends with Imanin for many years – she is regarded as Hashtag Queen.

We talked about disability activism and art, and what it’s like to occupy the world (specifically online) as loud and proud disabled women of colour. Imani has hundreds of thousands of social media followers, and she has a book coming out soon. She is incredible. I was totally fangirling during this interview – I am so lucky to do the work I do.

Enjoy this chat – it’s captioned.
