Personal Details

Bio

Over the last decade or so I’ve spent an increasing amount of my time making noise in various ways and places about disability awareness, disability rights and justice, accessibility, mental health, invisible illnesses, combatting stigma, pushing for better representation and equity and equality for all humans, with a specific focus on the disabled community.

While also being on disability, I spend my time doing disability activism as an artist, in politics serving on a state disability board and serving in various roles in my town, and doing educational work online and elsewhere.
