If you threatened to deport a bishop because they advocated for mercy, you’re not a follower of Jesus Christ.

I don’t know about all of you, but I’m not going silently. I’m gonna cause a scene. 🫶🏻

Ableist ignorance is assuming that I’m unable to operate a cell phone because of my blindness. Educate yourselves, please! As is everything: it’s a spectrum. My visual input is inconsistent and unreliable. I’m innovative AF though, and still find ways to do almost everything I want to do!

What if I told you that they designed it that way on purpose?

I sometimes think about becoming a resilience coach. But, news flash… I just keep going out of pure spite. To prove the haters wrong. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk. #chronicillness #motivationalspeaker #unfiltered #blindgirlwrites

It’s my reality every day, I’m sorry it makes you uncomfortable. Your emotional discomfort ranks pretty low on my list of pains that need my attention.

Popping in to leave some love.
Anyone else feeling like we’re standing on the precipice of something huge. Like the entire world is collectively holding their breath?
I’m so tired. 🫶🏻

Finally was able to get my migraine Botox treatment (2 weeks late) after waiting for insurance to pay. I hate that they have this much control and influence in my care and my daily life. Something has to change. We need to do better. And I’m not going to stop talking about it.

If there was one piece of advice I could go back and tell my younger self… this would probably be it. Change “isn’t real” to “isn’t always real” and I agree. Some people ARE capable of growing. Not all of them are ready.. and not always at the right time. So many variables out of our control. 🫶🏻
