“It takes a village to raise a child” ~African Proverb ~ Welcome to the Guilbault Girls Show where you will have the opportunity to hear from mothers, fathers, siblings, and individuals themselves about their journey of living with a disability. I know I know it’s called Guilbault Girls, but we have a bonus for you as we get the Guilbault Boys to interview some of the dads and siblings and get their perspectives too. We’ll also have special guests from time to time to share the many resources that are available to those living with a disability and their families. So, get ready to laugh, smile, cry, maybe even get a little angry when you hear some of these stories of their day-to-day struggles, but let’s not forget their many triumphs. I know when I was a new mom, and my child was diagnosed with a disability I felt lost and alone and wondered what comes next. I learned from the ones that came before me and I want to be able to continue to share that knowledge and support to others. As they say it takes a village, and if it weren’t for our village we wouldn’t be where we are today. So, will you help be that village, help us spread awareness, help us change mindsets, help us teach other’s to be kind to one another…. well you can do that by simply sharing our show to the masses.
