It’s taken me almost a lifetime to fully accept my disabilities, feeling like I had to live a double life most of my life because my disabilities were non-apparent. In a world full of ableism, being pridefully disabled gives me the power to persevere through it all. I am a speaker and art activist who lives with Multiple Hereditary Exostoses, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Hemiplegic Migraine, and more.
