S2 E15: Music with Meaning – Gracie Caggiano’s Voice in Disability Culture

How does a musician’s wheelchair shape her songwriting—and her sense of pride? Halley talks with Kansas City singer-songwriter and composer Gracie Caggiano in honor of Disability Pride Month. Gracie shares her journey as a musician with a disability, how her wheelchair influences her creative process, and what disability pride means to her. She also discusses performing at the upcoming Kansas City Disability Pride Gallery Opening, part of ArtsKC’s Community Gallery Program running July 4–25 in the Crossroads.
Discover why this event is important for KC’s arts community and where you can find Gracie’s debut album, I can’t be anything but human, on streaming platforms.
