More Than Movement: Expression Without Limits

In this powerful and inspiring episode, Kenisha sits down with Brandy Mims—also known as Unique, the DeafBlind Dancer—whose work is redefining what movement, expression, and communication can look like.

Through dance, she has developed innovative ways of engaging with the world—using body awareness, counting, rhythm, and vibration to express herself and connect with others. This conversation goes beyond movement. It’s about resilience, identity, and reimagining accessibility in ways that center lived experience. Brandy also speaks to the importance of representation and how she empowers others in the deafblind community to find their voice, their movement, and their space. This is an episode about possibility about what happens when we stop defining people by limitations and start recognizing the brilliance in how they navigate the world.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
