Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Aubrie Lee (BS Product Design, 2014) speaks about her upbringing in the Bay Area and how living with infantile onset facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy has impacted her personal, academic, and professional life. She shares thoughts on self-advocacy and accommodations, pivotal friendships, and impactful experiences such as the suicides of friends and finding community at MDA summer camp and the California Forum for Youth with Disabilities. She discusses her time at Stanford, including daily living, social life, and drawing comics for the Stanford Daily, and speaks about her efforts as a disability rights activist, including advocating for a community center for students with disabilities through Power2Act. She narrates experiences of ableism both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and speaks about her career at Google. She ends the interview by imagining her “perfect” world and reciting her proposed baccalaureate speech.
