Model, content creator, and disability advocate @onehandedoverdressed is changing the way we think about what it means to be disabled in this world. When she was 14 years old she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and at 17, had her arm amputated.

Since then she’s had to contend with the stigma of wearing a prosthetic arm, ableism in fashion & beyond, as well as simply navigating through and existing in a world that is way more inaccessible than we realize.

I met Maya through Instagram a couple years ago and I’ve learned so much from her through her disability advocacy. Adaptive fashion and disability visibility aren’t topics that are often highlighted in beauty & fashion discourse, so I wanted to chat with Maya about both disability & ableism at the intersection of beauty and fashion.

Today’s podcast guest is @nelita_v – Actress, Martial Artist, Share-er, and the new @savagexfenty girl 🗡️

Born to a Black mother and Filipino father, Nelita grew up between Inglewood and Baldwin Hills where she learned various disciplines of martial arts from her own esteemed martial artist father, Guru Erwin Villezon.

It’s never a dull conversation with Nelita. In this episode we talked about maintaining femininity as a martial artist, auditioning for “Black” roles as a lighter skinned mixed actress, and she even talked about her secret agent grandma. I’m not joking. You’ll just have to listen to find out more.
