Hi all,
I was born with a "semi" invisible disability ( a type of Arthrogryposis) and found it hard to accept who I was, in fact, it took me a good 30 years!
But for the last few years, I've been Vlogging about my hobbies in the hope that what I've been through can inspire more people with disability to "come out" and accept disability rather than hide shy away from it.
I've found doing a bit on the day when I can a huge help with my mental health and yes there are still hard days, but now the "good" days are so much nicer.
I'd be hugely grateful if you could share my Vlogs, maybe they will be of interest and help others.
