Everytime I advertise a product being accessible to disabled people. I lose sales because able-bodied people feel like it isn't for them as well.
My products are for anyone that likes or wants them. You don't need to view yourself as disabled to want them too.

not too bad for someone that struggles to start projects.

Jay Jurden is one of the most reliable killers working the NYC comedy circuit, and his debut comedy special, "Yes Ma'am", proves it. He delivers a fast-paced, punchline-filled love letter on what it means to be Black, Southern, and Queer, all while navigating those identities with his signature wit.
