These interviews are intended to create a more inclusive world. SBSK started when I was a teacher for students with disabilities. Originally intended to be a book written by my students, SBSK soon grew to be video interviews of disabled people of all ages and diagnoses. Since our beginning in 2015, I have interviewed hundreds of people across the world while providing over $2,000,000 to those featured on this channel through a combination of grants and fundraising. Starting in 2015, SBSK is now a 501(c)3 organization that seeks to normalize the diversity of the human condition under the pillars of honesty, respect, mindfulness, positivity and collaboration. This multi-media movement supports the acceptance and inclusion of all members of the neurodivergent/disability community. -Chris
Video Description
Samara lives with Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder (DPDR). After enduring multiple traumatic events in childhood, her world began to feel dreamlike and unreal. She often felt as though she was watching herself from outside her body and experienced memory loss from dissociative amnesia. Sights and sounds were distorted, leaving her disconnected from both her surroundings and herself. Despite the constant fog of DPDR, Samara wants others to know that it is possible to build a fulfilling life while living with this condition.
