USA Africa Dialogue Series - "I'm Not Your Inspiration, Thank You Very Much"---Stella Young (Video)

Stella Young is a comedian and journalist who happens to go about her day in a wheelchair, a fact that doesn't, she'd like to make clear, automatically turn her into a noble inspiration to all humanity. In this very funny talk, Young breaks down society's habit of turning disabled people into "inspiration porn."
