As a community, we often focus on the challenges that come with living with cerebral palsy. But what about the beauty in the everyday moments? The laughter, the tears, the triumphs, and the struggles? These are the stories that need to be told, and I'm honored to share them with you through this photo journal.
I want to challenge the notion that people with disabilities are only worthy of attention when they're achieving some grand feat. No, it's the quiet moments, the ones where we're just being human, that deserve to be celebrated.
As someone living with cerebral palsy, I've often felt like my experiences were invisible. Like, I'm not alone in this feeling, right? But what if we could change that? What if we could create a world where people with disabilities are seen and heard?
That's why representation matters. It's not just about seeing ourselves reflected back at us; it's about challenging the status quo and demanding more from society.
I've learned that vulnerability is not weakness; it's the opposite, actually. It takes immense courage to share our stories, to be open about our struggles and triumphs.
By sharing my own experiences, I hope to inspire others to do the same. Let's break down those barriers and create a world where we can all thrive.
