Being Seen: Beauty, Disability & Body Positivity with Laura Wagner-Meyer
In this powerful episode of Colour-Full, hosts Senamile Zungu and Stacy Jayne Saggers sit down with Laura Wagner-Meyer, a differently-abled designer, marketing professional, and fashion and beauty model, for an honest and deeply personal conversation about disability, body positivity, beauty standards, representation and belonging.Laura takes us through her journey of navigating a world that often makes assumptions about what bodies should look like, how they should move and what they are capable of. We unpack the idea that disability is not simply about an individual’s body, but also about the environments, systems and attitudes that can create barriers to participation and belonging.We explore what it means to be authentically seen beyond a disability or physical difference. From ableism and stigma to beauty standards and representation, we discuss the importance of seeing differently-abled bodies reflected in fashion, beauty, media and popular culture. Because representation isn’t just about being visible. It’s about being seen fully.
