We are the heroes, not the sidekicks., Can you recommend fiction that has main characters who are like us? This is a question we who are disabled, Deaf, neurodiverse, Spoonie, and/or who manage mental illness ask way too often. Typically, were faced with stories about us crafted by people who really dont get us. Were turned into pathetic, tragic souls; we merely exist to inspire the abled main characters to thrive; or even worse, were to overcome whats wrong with us and be cured., Nothing Without Us combines both realistic and speculative fiction, starring protagonists who are written by us and for us. From hospital halls to jungle villages, from within the fantastical plane to deep into outer space, our heroes take us on a journey, make us think, and prompt us to cheer them on., These are bold tales, told in our voices, which are important for everyone to experience., Length: 7 hrs and 52 mins Release date: 06-02-21
