This Is Not My Home

In the Season 2 finale of Hidden Voices, Raisa ends her journey by getting to the core of the relationships between Citizen Advocates and their partners- mutual respect and empathy. Raisa sees firsthand how people are changed as they see the inequity of life unfold for people with disabilities and how they can never turn their back on that reality once it's faced. Raisa finds herself changed by her journey, as well, and is committed more than ever before to uplift the voices of disabled people in a world that wasn't built for them to be heard.
