Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
On our program for August 28th, host David Bell speaks with Amanda Knightly, also known as Misa On Wheels, on the connection between empathy and (dis)ability.
Amanda is the most famous cosplayer on wheelers, Misa, and she is also a disability advocate.
Cosplay is the art of dressing up as your favorite character. Amanda/Misa finally discovered cosplay while in college, and she hasn’t looked back since. “Love cosplay, love your body!” is her motto, and she has found cosplay to be more than just a fun thing to do, but a great way to divert people’s attention to more important things. She knows she’ll get stared at regardless, – she uses a wheelchair – so “why not give them something to really stare at.” She proves to other disabled cosplayers that anything is possible.

On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society. Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.
