In April of 2024 we had the opportunity to record a session between our CEO and President, Kimberly Tissot, Senior Director of Community Education, Dori Tempio, and VP and Chief Public Relations Officer, Mary Alex Kopp, with StoryCorps. StoryCorps is, “an American non-profit organization which aims to record, preserve, and share the stories of Americans from all backgrounds and beliefs. Its mission statement is “to help us believe in each other by illuminating the humanity and possibility in us all—one story at a time”.”

After stepping and rolling into the recording “Airstream” with StoryCorps, we captured the story of Independent Living in South Carolina, what it means to be disabled, and have disability pride. The conversation covered ableism, disability justice, equity, and what we hope future generations who find our recording in the Library of Congress can take away from the stories of the past.

Able SC staff inside the small recording space in front of microphones on a white table with red benches, and surrounded by noise dampening gray material on the walls.
