Talk with Tina

On my maiden podcast episode, I welcome Rep. Tina Spears, Director of Community Provider Network of Rhode Island (CPNRI), policymaker, parent, and advocate. We discuss her background and reason for doing her work, what CPNRI does, and bills that are important to the neurodiverse and disability community. We also discuss why it’s so important for the neurodiverse and disability community to be active and vocal. Finally, what can the neurodiverse and disability community do to create change and are we really powerful?
