A New Moanin'

After the undoubted success of Mui Mui Records’ (pronounced Moy Moy) first release which presented original music from Bernard that also came complete with rerubs from Silverlining and Harry Wills. With the name for the label being an ode to founder E.Alexander’s daughter and her mixed British Chinese and Scottish upbringing its meaning is derived from the phrase “little girl” in Cantonese. It is clear from speaking with Ewan that a lot of care and attention goes into every facet of the label and it really shows in the music.

Well, Mui Mui are back for round two and again they come correct with the freshest house cuts courtesy of American artist John Manhard. This time around Mui Mui have opted to give their chosen artist the full run of the EP to showcase his sound and the result is four blissful originals that manage to combine a number of influences. Make sure you have a direct line to the sun when listening to this EP. [continue reading at...https://trommelmusic.com/music/premiere/premiere-a1-john-manhard-lennox-is-nk-muimui002/]

Sadly, women with disabilities are far more likely to experience abuse than able bodied women and more likely to experience the most severe and prolonged forms of abuse. 
In a survey conducted by the Disabled Women's Network of Canada, 40 per cent of respondents with a disability reported having experienced violent abuse.One Ottawa-based study showed that women with activity limitations were 20 per cent more likely to experience spousal abuse. Another study showed that women with disabilities were four times as likely to experience sexual abuse as able bodied women.

Many factors contribute to the elevated risk level. People with disabilities are more likely to be socially isolated due to cognitive, developmental or mobility limitations. Those with severe disabilities often rely on caregivers for the necessities of life, including intimate personal care and decision making, leaving them vulnerable to dangerous power imbalances.

Pat Kelln, a spokesperson for Pacific DAWN, is working to develop resources for women with disabilities and pushing the government to make changes to policies and protect disabled women from abuse. In this radio-style documentary, she is joined by two other women who generously share their experiences with abuse in the hopes of inspiring other victims of abuse to come forward and and utilize the resources available to them in their communities.

Despite the heavy subject matter, this is a story of hope and of a community banding together to fill gaps in services where they see a need.
