Overcoming Obstacles to Change in Systems that Do Not Support Us

Season 10 Episode 2: April 7, 2023

In this episode of the Brave Enough Show, Dr. Sasha talks with “The Seated Nurse” Andrea Dalzell, who lives life as a full-time wheelchair user and is the first registered nurse in a wheelchair in the state of New York. They talk about:

  • Being an advocate for your community  
  • Staying focused when experiencing naysayers 
  • Overcoming Obstacles to Change in Systems that Do Not Support Us 

About the guest:

Andrea Dalzell is the people's disability rights advocate. As someone who has used a wheelchair full-time since the age of twelve, she understands what it's like to constantly come up against barriers because life is built for the non-disabled. She challenges this narrative daily as "The Seated Nurse" - the first and only registered nurse in a wheelchair in all of New York State.

Andrea's advocacy has won her national recognition over the years, including being named "New Mobility's Person of the Year" in 2021. She has also been featured in publications such as Unite Spinal, HomeCare, and Forbes.
