Misconceptions about disability can often lead to isolation and judgment, but with open conversations and greater understanding we can help break down barriers. In this BIG question episode Jess is joined by musician Elly-May Barnes who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when she was a toddler. Elly-May is also part of the rock and roll Barnes family and has been performing with her dad Jimmy since she was a young girl.

In this powerful conversation Elly-May emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and being unapologetic about who you are despite the challenges you face. She also reveals the power of music as a release and expression, and how it has helped her cope with feelings of isolation by giving her a sense of belonging and connection.
