The Issue

As a disabled model and social media influencer I'm constantly bombarded with ignorant, ablest comments saying "We don't need more cripples", people telling me I shouldn't have children because they'll be disabled and what's worse people actually believe that disabled people don't have relationships!

All this ableism comes mostly from teenagers and adults and it's simply because they are uneducated on disabilities. Growing up children are never taught about disabilities so they grow up thinking it's weird and because their parents weren't taught they've got nobody to teach them!

I would love for children to be educated on disabilities in schools so this cycle of ableism can stop now!
