Summer Essentials
Summer is here, and with it comes heat and humidity that can make being outdoors unbearable. With my chronic illnesses, keeping myself cool during these hot months is essential. Throughout my years with disability, I’ve found a few key items that I always have on hand to help me beat the heat.
Perspective.
As an adaptive photographer who uses a wheelchair, I experience my own unique set of challenges. I got frustrated at times, unable to fully engage in certain activities or events. But rather than let myself succumb to these feelings, I chose to use them as a source of inspiration, a catalyst for creativity.
Traveling!
I’ve found so many products designed for wheelchair users to make traveling as easy and enjoyable as possible. In this post, I will be sharing my top favorite Amazon finds that have made my travels so much smoother and more comfortable. These products have been game-changers for me, and I'm sure they'll be useful for you too. So sit tight and let's dive into the world of wheelchair accessibility and travel!
Mourning.
Today is the Disability Day of Mourning. Recognised around the world, the disability community comes together to remember people with disabilities whose lives were taken by their caretakers or family members.
Ableism and Privilege
It’s so important to read about these real, current experiences. It’s so easy to believe that the world is the same as the bubble we choose, but if we think the world is just what we can see from our own point of view, we’ll lose the fire to fight for others who don’t hold the privilege we do.
Small.
Limits.
Acceptance.
Reinvention.
Advocating.
I cried in the soundbooth last night.
