responding to comments on my favorite dance video

This is my first attempt at advocating for better treatment of people with disabilities in doctors' offices. I recently had to go to urgent care and was not able to be properly examined because of the height of the examination table

Tomorrow I turn 44

remembering my friend Noel

it's life-changing

language change should be a two-way street when speaking about communities that includes the disabled community and the non-disabled. please stop using the word able-bodied to describe somebody who seemingly does not have a disability.

Thank you so much for listening to the show. it means the world to me

The title explains itself

this is quick PSA that I did on Saturday

Today is international wheelchair Day. I've only taken pride in my disability for the past 5 years. Even though I've lived with my disability my whole life it's been hard to see the beauty in it because so many people ask questions that are inappropriate or questions in general at inappropriate times. now that I am comfortable everybody that I am a good Roll Model for others with disabilities

have a beautiful Saturday!

In this episode I am talking about my experience as an access service client and I am voicing my frustration about what I think they need to do better. they are a great company but they need to rethink much other policy when it comes to helping the clients that they serve

My blog prompt on my website said, 'Create a holiday and tell people how they should celebrate it.'

Inclusion of everybody equally is crucial, especially in today's society. Nobody should be denied an opportunity they want to have without first testing ways to get things done.
