One of my favourite parts of these Disability Daily-ish newsletters is connecting our audiences with artists and advocates they might not have discovered otherwise. 

For today, I want to introduce you to Kevin Gotkin, an artist and organizer with [Creatives Rebuild New York](https://www.creativesrebuildny.org/?ref=creativeconnector.art). 

They have been "dialed into disability worlds since 2012 as an access ecologist, teacher, and researcher" and a newsletter where he sends out a [weekly roundup about disability arts and politics](https://cripnews.substack.com/).

Recently, Kevin was featured on Kelly Clarkson's talk show, where they discussed Disability nightlife, access as an artistic process, and how it cannot be done alone.

You can [watch Kevin's segment here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhDJxx4OGyo&ref=creativeconnector.art) and check out Crip News via the link below.
