All that i can ever be is nothing more than myself

I’m writing because I have things to say about disability, ableism, and my personal experiences. To me, it’s important to contradict those who tell us, ‘you can’t have experienced it like that. You’re lying, you’re mistaken, it’s not possible, that’s not how it goes.’ It’s important to ourselves mark out the issues that matter to us, lest others do it badly or not at all. It’s particularly important that we ourselves, who are so often denied our voices, so often silenced, tell these stories. So I am telling mine and doing my bit to support the voices of those like me.

On writing about disability by Chally

So happy to find a feminist who is POC and disabled!
