The Fold Podcast - Episode 43: BREAKING CHARACTER - a conversation with friend of the show, Rachel Romu It’s been a while since I connected. I wanted to check in and bring you something special. On July 17, 2022, I had the opportunity to collaborate with my dear friend to put on an intimate celebration for our friend – you might remember Rachel from our December 2019 episode featuring their story – the last in-person conversation I conducted before the world in a dramatic way. You can call Rachel a musician, activist and model, yet they are so much more. They’re a friend, confidant and true trailblazer in every definition of the word. This summer, Accessible Media Inc. launched an incredible documentary series called Breaking Character, following the journeys of six performers with disabilities as they hustle to make their mark on the stage, screen and runway. Rachel is one of the featured subjects and shares their story with authenticity, intention, and impact. We dove deeper with Rachel at a screening party of the series, and a special chat between them and I followed. What a beautiful day. Thank you, Rachel, Sabre and all those who attended, watched, and supported this fantastic project from AMI. This interview was recorded live in Rachel’s backyard in Toronto; the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. Thanks for listening to our conversation and being in the Fold with us!
