This week on Marsha’s Plate, we sit down with disability justice activist Luc Bensimon for a powerful conversation about resilience, advocacy, and living authentically.
Born and raised in Topeka, Luc has spent 54 years navigating a world that often underestimated him. Living with a rare form of cerebral palsy, he shares the challenges he faced growing up, the barriers he encountered, and the determination that helped him build a life defined by perseverance and purpose.
We also discuss Luc’s groundbreaking legal case in Kansas, which helped advance protections and recognition for transgender people, and the lasting impact that victory continues to have on the community today.
From disability justice to transgender rights, this episode explores what it means to fight for dignity, visibility, and self-determination in the face of adversity.
Tune in for an inspiring story of courage, community, and triumph.
