preconceived-notions-1

Panel A: Picture of the author, Antara, with devil horns doodled on her head. Text: Hello again, this is Antara. Part angry feminist, part heart-turns-to-mush-when-I-see-dogs person, part prosthetic leg. Panel B: A picture of wheelchair. Next to it, there is an ‘equal to’ sign, and a drawing of sad man’s face with question marks around it. Text: Today I’m going to be telling you a little bit about the preconceived notions that nondisabled people have about us disabled folk. Panel C: A drawing of a woman with her arms crossed and eyebrows raised. Text: And also about how these preconceived notions affect our professional, social, and personal lives.
