PGP / SPD My story:

Paid Employment Hunting: Never thought I’d be up until nearly 4am looking for paid work, but here we are lmao... 🤣 One of these, needs to see my worth!  I have so many skills and so much I want to do!  A part-time job would give me a little more income and freedom while helping me continue to support local organisations, charities and projects, the things that really matter to our communities! 🙏🏻 I’m not expecting the universe to grant me a massive lottery win. 💀 I just want an opportunity to use what I’m good at, keep growing and build a bit more stability for myself. ❤️ Five years and counting and this gal still won't quit on herself. 💪🏻🔥 Sarah Wingfield ❤️  KawaiiDollDecora.uk #work #paidemployment #parttimework #income #independence  Alt text: Pink graphic with red heart-shaped lollipops and sparkling four-leaf clovers.

“Why don’t you just get paid work?” Ah yes… because apparently nobody facing disability, inaccessible workplaces or discrimination has ever thought of that one before. 🤣 This is exactly why I talk about systemic ableism. The assumption that someone who isn’t in conventional paid employment simply isn’t trying completely ignores the barriers disabled people can face when trying to access, remain in, or create sustainable work. I am trying to build paid work for myself. I create, advocate, support people, develop projects and work towards making what I do financially sustainable. The issue isn’t a lack of effort. It’s the confidence some people have in judging a life they haven’t taken five minutes to understand. Ask questions. Have a different perspective. Discuss difficult subjects. But assumptions aren’t facts — and “just get a job” isn’t a solution to systemic barriers. 💪🏻✨ #DisabilityAdvocacy #Ableism #SystemicAbleism #DisabledAndWorking #DisabilityAwareness #AccessibilityMatters...
