Hey all!
Welcome back to Season 4 of the PodCast.
We're kicking this Season off with Baris Girit of Izmir, Turkey.
In this conversation Baris & Danny spend some time catching up, and reflecting, after meeting 11 years ago at an International Conference for Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus in Izmir, and where the idea of 'P.U.S.H' was born.
Baris shares about his love for Video Games and dives into some of the things that he looks for in a game that he enjoys playing.
He also talks about the power of gaming in building Community & Connection.
Baris speaks to growing up inside of the Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association of Turkey, and how he has developed his own independence & ability to create his own life.
Danny & Baris discuss growing up in households that didn't label/define/limit them because of living with Hydrocephalus/Spina Bifida.
They also talk about, regardless of where we are in the world, how many similarities we share across our SB&H Community, despite any of our differences.
Baris, it was SUCH a pleasure to have you on, and to connect again after so many years.
Until the next time!
❤️
