Diana Romero: Disability Belongs

What I hope to do with this show was to talk about my life, about always trying to belong, but then the ultimate challenge of belonging which is becoming a wheelchair user because you're going to stand out in any kind of way - not fit in being a wheelchair user. I hope with audiences what comes out with me is a partnership which is the theme. Let me tell you what I'm talking about, what I'm realizing you won't know unless you're a wheelchair user. I wanted people not to feel like I'm preaching at them. I'm coming to tell you what it's like -- to have humor in it, to have advocacy in it, but to have people in the end feel like they're a team with me, or like their allies, or to feel ashamed or embarrassed. This is not a victim story by any means. ~ Diana Romero Diana Romero is an award-winning writer/producer/performer based in Los Angeles, specializing in detective procedurals, true crime, and family dramas.
