I focus on raising awareness:
As a disabled artist I try and create things that will raise awareness and help break the stigma of disability because there is no disability that is 'lesser than', and the world is still very aggressive, quite unnecessarily so, when it comes to understanding disabilities.
Disabilities vary and you can't diagnose with your eyes, especially with invisible conditions!
I'm sick of being the victim of ableist behaviours and it breaks my heart to hear the ways my fellow disability warriors are also treated.
Communities should not defend abuse or condone abuse just because something is useful to them.
From hospitals to charities to employment, we all struggle and none of us need to behave in a manner that will make the world worse than it is!
We should all be working together to make it EASIER for others and that's something people cannot understand or grasp.
A lot of people don't realise they're actually ableist but no matter what, apologies and being apologetic for behaviour that is abusive is KEY to showing the community you're fallible and hold yourself accountable and want to learn to be better and more INCLUSIVE of vulnerable and different individuals!
I wish my community could see beyond their assumptions and if we all worked together we could make this town way more amazing!
I live in hope.
