Catch Me on SiriusXM Canada's The Boost to Kick Off Invisible Disabilities Week!

DID YOU KNOW that an estimated up to 80% of disabilities are non-apparent? I spent 30+ years hiding my muscle disability because I could, and because I didn't want to talk about it.

But the fact that it was non-apparent also made it feel harder and more nerve-wracking to bring it up at all. What would people think or assume about me, if they knew I had a muscle disability?

It took me a long time to realize that my disability isn't the problem — ableism is.

So excited to be on Sirius XM Canada's The Boost morning show on Mon Oct 20 around 8:30-40 am, to talk about my journey and getting 13 buildings/monuments across 10 Canadian cities to light up for invisible disabilities!

Invisible Disabilities Week (Oct 19-25) is a time to normalize discussions around disability and listen to people's experiences with their own, so I love seeing more recognition of it this month.

Thanks to the best publicist Dan Shaikh! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’™โœจ
