#78 - Dignity & Hygiene

Many individuals with disabilities are dependent on caregivers to present them to society with the dignity they deserve. Some hygiene and care will require creativity, persistence, and continual reminders it matters and our loved one is worth it.  Geege Tayor is widely known in the autism community as a mother who places high standards on the way her son is presented to the world. Geege goes the mile as her son’s dignity surrogate and has several hygiene tips and tricks she has refined over the last 16 years. The first half of the conversation is a discussion about going the extra mile to ensure our loved ones are presented to the world with dignity and why it matters. The second half covers Geege’s tips and tricks for dental hygiene, fashion, acne, shaving, showering, and haircuts.  Watch Geege and Pootie on their reality TV show by searching Planet Poot on Youtube or on Instagram @geegetaylor Kim is on Instagram as @journey2lomah Related Episodes: #10 Dignity and Disability with Nicole Feeney
