33 years ago today, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law! And so, every July, we celebrate Disability Pride Month...but my relationship with being disabled isn't straightforward - at times it has been messy, emotional, and confusing. Over the past four and a half years of living with a visible disability, I've made a conscious effort to examine my discomfort with disability and nurture what makes me feel proud. I am so proud to be a member of this community with so many amazing people. Let's talk about Disability Pride Month 2023!

My Amputation Story!
Fourteen years of pain and failed ankle surgeries brought me to 2018, when I made the difficult decision to become a twenty-seven-year-old below-the-knee elective amputee. This channel has documented my journey adjusting to life with a visible disability as an amputee, and continues to be a haven to discuss physical and mental health!
