Hello friends, and welcome back to The Advocacy Life podcast with Kevin Nuñez! Disability and death are the only two certainties in life, yet society continues to treat disability like an invisible anomaly or a feel-good inspiration reel. In today’s episode, Kevin addresses a heavy, deeply personal question: Are disability advocates tokens for someone else's products or political agendas?Kevin candidly discusses his time inside New Jersey's habilitation day programs, the reality of adult daycare, and his personal perspective on the current New Jersey group home camera legislation. He challenges us to "put our shoes on the wrong feet" to understand the discomfort and lack of control that many nonverbal individuals face daily. If you see a token, you project a token. It’s time to break the mold.Highlights:00:00 - Are disability advocates just props?02:15 - The reality of advocacy: No money, no mansions, just purpose.03:30 - Guest of Senator Andy Kim at the State of the Union.04:45 - What "adult daycare" taught me about communication and "behaviors."07:30 - The problem with the NJ Group Home Camera Bill.09:15 - Trained staffing vs. surveillance cameras.11:00 - Why I keep rolling.Connect with Kevin:Website: https://theadvocacylife.com/Books: Living Beyond Disability Series on AmazonSupport: Cash App / PayPal links available on the website.Keep on rolling.
