Transcript: Hi everyone, I'm Tiffany Yu and so excited to introduce you to TIFFANY & YU, the podcast! Over the past couple of years, I've been a guest on a handful of different podcasts, chatting about disability and identity, side hustles and entrepreneurship, leading with vulnerability, and more. As I record this, we are in the middle of a pandemic related to COVID-19, also known as coronavirus. I'm based in San Francisco, and we still have a couple more weeks of "shelter in place," so I figured, this might be a good time to launch my own podcast. For those of you I haven't met yet, I'm a social entrepreneur and disability advocate who spends my work and life destigmatizing disability, trauma, and grief. Along that journey, I've met some incredible people--people who have created space for me and for us to explore what it means to be human. I want to share these conversations with you. My hope is that we can co-create something beautiful together and I hope that listening to these conversations provides you a space to feel empowered and inspired. If something here resonates with you, feel free to subscribe, leave a review, rate this podcast, or reach out to me across social media at @imtiffanyyu. That's the letter "I", the letter "M", followed by my first and last name. I'm so glad you're here. Thank you for stopping by!
