Transcription:
"Hello, my name is Ryan Camarda, and I am the head editor of Bachelor’s in Disability. For a living, I have my own film company, West of Worldly Productions LLC. I wanted to get involved in Bachelor’s in Disability because I am disabled myself, and I see this as an important cause. I am looking forward to seeing this organization grow, and be able to have the network to both receive and answer more of your questions about disability.
I myself have an invisible disability, and beyond the physical pain, there’s an emotional pain, and there’s also a certain sense of paranoia. Like, when I say to people that I am disabled, and I cannot do something, do they look at me and think I am faking it? Or that I’m lazy? It’s… it’s not good.
So, I look forward to answering your questions and editing some of the videos. I hope you have a nice day, bye."
