Advocacy

Public speaking, documentary appearances, and other engagements centering on disability advocacy and representation. Visibility and representation are the first steps towards education and normalizing disabled bodies.

I was invited to Dublin, Ireland for the 2023 EDS Society Global Learning Conference as a keynote speaker. My speech, "How To Find Your Superpower When Living With EDS & HSD" focused on both my journey to discovering advocacy through art, as well as how to discover what might empower others in their disability journey.

As part of their events celebrating National #DisabilityEmploymentAwarenessMonth, Zurich North America's  AbilitieZ employee resource group (ERG) recently hosted a panel discussion around ableism featuring myself and moderator Tiffany Cheung Davis. Zurich North America's AbilitieZ ERG brings awareness around individuals with disabilities and provides a platform for members to share their unique perspectives and foster an inclusive workplace.

I had the honor of being invited to the 2024 ReelAbilities Film Festival LA as their Master of Ceremonies for Day 1 of the festival. The ReelAbilities Film Festival: Los Angeles is a two-day festival dedicated to promoting awareness and appreciation of the lives, stories, and artistic expressions of people with disabilities. They showcase new and classic films, conversations, and programs that explore, embrace, and celebrate the diversity of our shared human experience.
