It's #disabilitypridemonth ❤️❤️❤️
Being disabled is just who I am. It's difficult and it's much harder with the genuine lack of support/decent healthcare and access in the world. I feel like we're one of the minority groups that is still not being supported by many diversity quotas and are still being blatantly discrimated against in ways that would cause public outrage if it was against other groups. There is still a lot of hate speech against Disabled people and covid showed some of the worst of that.
Over the recent years through @drakemusicorg and @attitudeiseverythinghq I've met some truly amazing Disabled people that I might not have met otherwise due to my invisible illnesses. Through all the difficulties that come with being disabled I feel like I have gained so much through brilliant friends @sparklyopteryx mentors @dyskinetic and organisations that are prepared to fight for the rights that Disabled people deserve. Thankyou to all the disabled people and allies who have made me feel at home, discussed barriers and coping mechanisms and hoped for a better future with more opportunities. I'm proud of us ❤️
