“I am a full time wheelchair user & live my life constantly needing to find ways to adapt to being a wheelchair user & feeling I am in a position to shape and reshape the views of strangers on disability daily.
Growing up in a wheelchair was one of the loneliest and darkest times of my life. Feeling so isolated, alone and different and wondering if the world has a place for me - or if I even belonged... After a really difficult time of trying to fit in and really having the hardship of not being accepted & feeling like the world is not accommodating to my life as a woman in a wheelchair.
I went through a dark time with mental health issues and somehow found myself making a YouTube channel & sharing my life & experiences and raising awareness. Wanting to make change happen so I and anyone else in my shoes (or shall I say wheels), won't have to feel that feeling of not being wanted and not belonging in this world. I talk about the importance of the media having people with all kinds of disabilities being on our television and how having disability in our mainstream media Would benefit the younger generation growing up with a disability & I hope that me sharing my life and everything I've done from wheelchair racing, to a beautician and now a disability influencer shows NOTHING will stop me from doing ANYTHING and changes the negative mentality the world has on disability while also helping others like me know that life doesn’t end just because you have to do life a little differently”
