Shane Burcaw (he/him) is the author of several award-winning books about disability. He is the President of a nonprofit organization called Laughing At My Nightmare, and a renowned public speaker who has performed across the country at places such as Harvard University, The University of Florida, The University of Connecticut, Princeton University, and many more.

Hannah Burcaw (she/her) graduated from Carleton College, where she studied Sociology and Anthropology. She films and edits the “Squirmy and Grubs” vlog, which has over 800,000 subscribers on YouTube. Hannah has spoken at prestigious universities and Fortune 500 companies alike about the realities of ableism. On her popular Instagram account, she advocates for acceptance of all people and works to improve the way society thinks about disability.

Shane and Hannah have been together for over four years. They got married in September of 2020 in the midst of a global pandemic in their backyard, with their officiant conducting the ceremony via Zoom. Their interabled relationship often confuses people, because much of society still cannot fathom people with disabilities being involved in loving, intimate relationships. Anyone who watches these episodes will quickly see their relationship is just as “normal” as any other. Sure, Hannah helps Shane use the bathroom and brush his teeth, but those activities do not detract from the emotional, intellectual, and physical connection they experience together.

  1. For Mondays grub bag 🧡
    In your intro video there is a cart attached to your power chair with Hannah sitting inside… I am an artist power chair user and that cart would be great for art things to be put in. And I was wondering how you linked it up to your power chair and how you found moving with the cart attached? Thanks 🧡

  2. I'm literally with Shane on the Halloween candy. Reece's are my favorite. 😂 Speaking of holidays, here's my question: Hannah, do you have a favorite or signature dish that you make around Thanksgiving, Christmas etc.? Shane, do you have a favorite holiday food to eat, Hannah's cooking or otherwise?

  3. Aloha from Hawaii. I have ALS and in a power wheelchair. I have very much enjoyed your YouTube videos, and have learned a lot from your experience. While our diseases are not the same, there are many similarities between the two. I know that you travel often with your power wheelchair via planes. My children and grandchildren live in Orlando, Florida, which is a long way from Honolulu. I hesitate to travel with my power wheelchair, knowing the experiences of others who have experienced severe damages to their chairs. My question to you, is what steps do you take to ensure the safeguarding of your power wheelchair when you travel by plane? Any thoughts or ideas would be welcomed. Mahalo

  4. How involved in Shane's care do you imagine your children will be? I love your channel, and I've watched for years. As my parents get older, I've increasingly thought more and more about the care I will provide for them. Although I am young, I never think about it as a burden. It's the things you do for the people you love.
