The Only Constant is Change

Welcome to my new site, where you’ll find posts about my advocacy work and adventures, along with my creative content and storytelling projects, like the Finding Avalon podcast!

My intention is for this to be a minimalist, accessible and safe space, first and foremost for disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent folks. Then for our supportive community allies – those who actively want to learn (and unlearn!) so that we can build an inclusive, equitable world where everyone can belong and live with dignity and safety.

Please adjust your expectations, as I am a disabled creator and will not be held to non-disabled and neurotypical standards. My work as an advocate, activist and creator is truly a labour of love, operating on an uneven playing field full of systemic barriers. Additionally, I am managing life with the added complexity of intertwined disability, chronic illness and neurodivergence.

I’m learning time and time again that the only constant is change. Anyone can become disabled at any time. You never think it’ll happen to you. I’m living proof. Join me on my journey of normalizing disability acceptance, connection, inclusion and celebration.

Because as sure as there are times that feel insurmountable, there is joy and transcendance too. Are you with me?
