Disability awareness

ChelleM

Hi everyone,
I've wrote on here a couple of times about the fact that I'd love to start up my own disability awareness training/motivational speaking business and also about my blog www.seemenotcp.wordpress.com. Last year a begun working with Fixers on a short film based on a blog post I'd wrote 'The do's and donts of disability' the film uses humour to highlight some of the discrimination I've faced and gives people helpful tips if they might feel awkward interacting with someone with a disability. You can find the film here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVFjS_BdZiI
Getting my message out there and spreading awareness is something I'm incredibly passionate about and any feedback would be amazing, So if you enjoy the film can you please share and leave me your thoughts below. Thank you for taking the time to read this and hope to hear from you guys soon! x

A great video Michelle.

Very professional and gets your message over clearly and straight forwardly.

I'm sure it will prove to be extremely popular and will create some further exciting opportunities for you to develop your disability awareness campaign and business ideas.

I wish you every success

Kind regards

Noah

Hey Chelle. I love your film! It's really frank and assertive. More please!

I was wondering if you have seen the Scope end the awkward campaign? they did a series of shorts with c4 that are pretty funny, tackle a lot of the same issues.
