Dominating Diversity
Dominating Diversity
Podcast Description
I am a professional at a leading university that works tirelessly for equity, diversity, and inclusion. My website www.dominatingdisability.com already hosts so many blog articles from several writers on these topics. Welcome to my channel, because together we can dominate disability. In these podcasts we explore why diversity matters, especially in Education, and how we just aren't there yet. In higher education especially, we encounter so much diversity with so many people thinking they are around diversity that aren't. I will also delve into Australian Aboriginal culture and how we aren't around this diversity yet either.

“Focal Epilepsy: Understanding the Quiet Seizures”
Podcast: Dominating Diversity with Brooke Tahir
In this powerful solo episode, Brooke Tahir dives into the lesser-known world of Focal Epilepsy — a complex, often invisible neurological condition that challenges common assumptions about what epilepsy “looks like.”
With compassion, clarity, and lived insight, Brooke breaks down what focal seizures are, how they manifest, and why they’re so frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed in schools, workplaces, and public spaces.
You’ll learn:
- The signs and warning symptoms of focal seizures (they’re not always convulsive!)
- How Focal Epilepsy impacts everyday life — from memory and mood to safety and stigma
- What to look out for and how to respond supportively in your classroom, workplace, or community
- Why inclusion needs to go beyond awareness — and what true accessibility for people with epilepsy really means
Whether you're an educator, employer, advocate, or someone living with epilepsy, this episode is a must-listen for building a more informed, safer, and empathetic world.
🧠💜 Let’s break the silence around quiet seizures — because visibility starts with understanding.
