E119: InvisiYouth Chat Sessions with CEO of Diversability, disability activist and author, Tiffany Yu
Tue Nov 18 2025
We’re celebrating the Season 7 finale because we have a returning special guest on the show, CEO of Diversability, disability activist and author (and Season 2 finale Episode 26 special guest) Tiffany Yu. A beloved disability activist championing equity and inclusion in the world, Tiffany created professional avenues to empower the disability/chronic illness experience for the community. And recently, Tiffany added author to her resume when she published her book. The Anti-Ableist Manifesto: Smashing Stereotypes, Forging Change and Building a Disability-Inclusive World.
Here’s the Four Hot Takeaways:
3:51 Tiffany goes through rapid fire questions about the type of gift wrapper she is, the unique artwork that’s going up in her new apartment, her favorite taste sense, and the childhood collector of a specific toy that had a massive craze behind it.11:59 Tiffany and Dominique catch up on what’s made her the most excited about growing Diversability for over 15 years, the value of disability pride and establishing community, how creating a massively popular social media series “Anti-Albeism” with over 340 videos has allowed for more people to share the diversity of disability stories, and what she’s not only learned about disability history but also her own disability from her book writing experience with The Anti-Ableist Manifesto.34:12 STORY TIME INTERMISSION and Tiffany gets into her unique experience making a last minute decision to go to the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games turned into a truly remarkable experience working with YouTube, meeting up with athletes and celebrating with their communities.40:49 is the final segment and gets us talking about something else that’s been added to Tiffany’s life since her Season 2 appearance on the podcast: competing at the world level for para-climbing. We learned how a childhood love of indoor rock-climbing connected her back to para-climbing later in life, the ways going to competitions and qualifying for the USA developmental team has allowed her to embrace the fun and wonder of a sport, and the advice she had to learn something new and challenge herself when living with chronic illness/disability.
