Living an inclusive life is all that everyone is asking for. I am no one to talk about disability and the day-to-day struggle that disabled people have to face. So I asked Sweta Mantri to share her journey on the podcast.
Episode 14 is a conversation with Sweta Mantri who is a standup comic. In this episode, she shares how normal things like basic accessibility to various establishments are a challenge for someone who is disabled. We also converse about the psychological and physical trauma that a person has to go through and how difficult it is to find that silver lining that everyone talks about when everything seems to be going south.
Sweta Mantri was asked to be an accountant but instead, she decided to hold people accountable for their lack of knowledge on disability access and have a dialogue with them. She is a standup comedian and believes in revolutionizing the comedy scene and changing the mindset of the people one joke at a time! Though there have been times when people have not received the jokes well, that has not stopped her from putting the point across. She believes that the more disability is treated as a taboo topic, the more people will be uncomfortable discussing it. And it is important to change the thought process of the people and to make them a little more mindful about creating a barrier-free life for all
