Good interview with Sophie Morgan

 There's a really good interview in the Guardian today with Sophie Morgan, who's a reasonably prominent UK tv presenter, and wheelchair user.

Her two decades as a presenter and as a disabled person have pretty much gone hand in hand as she started in a couple of reality tv shows almost as soon as she was out of rehab from being spinally injured in a car crash, but it's depressingly revealing to see how much she's had to overcome behind the scenes to be taken seriously as a presenter of disability stuff, never mind non-disability.

It's also interesting to note that I read a lot of Guardian interviews, which have occurred in all kinds of venues - hotel suites, zoom, people's kitchens, the French countryside - but this is the first one I can remember where it's mentioned it was in the Guardian offices; it's own comment on accessibility?
