Disability Advocacy Changes Lives:
Disability Advocacy Changes Lives ❤️
Disability advocacy means everything to me. It isn’t just about words — it’s about action. It’s about refusing to stay quiet when people are discriminated against, ignored, or mistreated.
That’s why I created and shared this graphic today. Because people still need reminding that:
Disability advocacy means fighting for the rights, inclusion, and equality of people with disabilities. It is about challenging discrimination and barriers, and promoting accessibility and independence for all.
That’s what I live by. That’s what I fight for.
Recently, my advocacy has looked like:
Delivering my Disability Awareness Speech, sparking honest conversations about accessibility, the social model of disability, and how society must change.
Working as an Independent Visitor for children in care, standing alongside them so they know they have someone in their corner when the system feels overwhelming.
Supporting people when they face housing gatekeeping, making sure they get the access and stability they deserve instead of being shut out by bureaucracy.
Campaigning for better accessibility in hospital car parks, because being able to attend appointments should never be made harder by barriers at the very doors of our healthcare.
Using my platform to amplify the voices of those mistreated, and publicly challenging the ableism and discrimination that so many still face every single day.
Writing a book to eradicate ableism, where I collect and share real-life stories and experiences. The aim is for readers to put themselves in our shoes — to feel the weight of injustice and also the power of resilience. Because when people truly see what disabled people go through, change becomes impossible to ignore.
This work matters because it changes lives. Sometimes in big ways, sometimes in quiet ones — but always with impact. Advocacy gives people hope. It says: “You matter. Your voice matters. And I will stand with you.”
Because accessibility isn’t optional. Inclusion isn’t optional. Disability rights aren’t optional.
They are human rights.
And as Kawaii Doll Decora, I’ll never stop fighting for them — loudly, unapologetically, and with love at the centre. ❤️

A pastel purple square graphic with bold black text that reads:
“Disability advocacy means fighting for the rights, inclusion, and equality of people with disabilities. It is about challenging discrimination and barriers, and promoting accessibility and independence for all.”
On the right side is a small heart shape with the words “Kawaii Doll Decora.” At the bottom, there’s a white strip with two red hearts on either side and the words “DISABILITY RIGHTS” in black bold lettering.
