One of my favorite moments of the Summer festival Season. ❤️

It's Invisible Disabilities Awareness week.

Not all disabilities are visible to the naked eye. Especially when we see it through the bias lenz that we have all been raised in through an ableist society.

Myself included. I absolutely notice my internalized ableism, and that includes minimizing or dismissing the severity of my own pain & symptoms.

Suck it up. Push through.
Get praised for it. Take pride in it.

You may see me on stage and on social media posts and think that I am exaggerating when I tell you now that I am a person with multiple invisible disabilities and illnesses. MULTIPLE. There are too many diagnoses and symptoms to list here.

I've been collecting them since I was a kid. Like Pokémon cards.

Furthermore, I am dynamically disabled. Which means my symptoms and abilities fluctuate.
One day, you might see me out and doing well. The next, I may not be able to get out of bed or move much.

I may be singing and dancing, and another day, I may use a cane to help with pain or stability. In fact, recently, due to an MVA adding injury and making things worse, I have been thinking about getting a rollerator with a seat to avoid standing too long on outings.

It is important to me that I am honest about this. It helps me to accept where I am. It helps the people around me understand me and support me more. Instead of leading with judgment based on my looks, they may lead with compassion and curiosity towards me instead.

That alone is worth any embarrassment I may have in sharing the truth of my battles.

I hope in sharing that it makes people more aware of their own internalized ableism around productivity, disability, accessibility, and the added struggles of being disabled in an able-bodied focused world.

I hope that this changes one person's perspective.

Instead of assuming people who can walk but use a wheelchair or park in a space designed for them, are "faking it."

Perhaps one more person resists assuming someone is just "being lazy" or "flakey" based on how they look and choose to be curious and kind instead.

The truth is that anyone can become disabled at any time.
