Amanda and Vickie sit down and have a chat with the hosts of The Lucky Few podcast: Heather Avis, Micha Boyett, and Mercedes Lara. Heather used #TheLuckyFew when she started her Instagram account, and when she learned she could click on the hashtag, she was amazed to see that others were using it in the Down’s Syndrome community, with the same meaning that she intended to have. 

Listen in and learn how the hosts got together, how the #TheLuckyFew is changing the way others see Down’s Syndrome, and how it’s connecting families. It truly is all about “Shifting the Down Syndrome narrative by shouting their worth.”
