Accessibility benefits everyone.

It’s not just about me, it’s never been about just me. When I talk about accessibility, I’m talking about creating a world where people don’t have to fight to participate simply because their bodies, abilities, or circumstances are different. The things that make life more accessible for disabled people often make life easier for everyone else, too—parents pushing strollers or grocery carts, aging adults, someone recovering from an injury, a person carrying groceries, or anyone who simply needs a little more space or flexibility. Accessibility isn’t about giving one person or group special treatment. It’s about removing barriers that never needed to be there in the first place. I continue to advocate for accessibility because I want a world that works for more people, not just people like me.

This has never been about just me. It’s about all of us.🤍🙌

It was honestly sketchier than it looks. I was going down hill & surrounded by a bunch of tiny cactus...but it was worth it! 😅🌵♿️

As someone who struggles with mental illness, including depression and anxiety, travel has become an anchor for me.

I saw the same therapist for about three years, and finding a new therapist has been incredibly challenging for me. As someone who is autistic, doesn't handle change well, doesn't really enjoy new or unfamiliar things, and has a lot of things to work through, starting over with someone new feels extremely overwhelming and in a lot of ways unhealthy right now. Therapy is important to me, but in the meantime, travel has become one of the healthiest forms of therapy in my life.

Travel gives me something to look forward to and a reason to get out of my comfort zone. It also gives me a chance to focus on experiencing something new instead of being consumed by every dark thing happening in my head. Traveling doesn't magically make my depression or anxiety disappear-trust me, I wish it did, but there is something incredibly healing about seeing a new place, experiencing something I've never experienced before, and realizing that my life can still hold beautiful moments.

Sometimes I need more than just survival—I need something that reminds me there are still things in this world worth looking forward to and that is what travel is for me. 🌏✈️🫶

I'm still fighting for her. ❤️‍🩹

There are so many emotions that come with approaching September. I was looking through pictures of little me recently, and I found myself thinking about everything that happened in September 2021.

She had no idea what life would eventually bring her. She had no idea that, years later, she would become a full-time wheelchair user and that she would experience things no one should have to experience. She would spend so many years navigating pain, trauma, and a medical system that failed her over and over.

My heart hurts looking at that little girl—not because she went through those things, because she didn't. She was just an innocent girl who had her whole life ahead of her. But I look at her now and think about everything adult me has been through, and I wish I could protect her from all of it.

I would never let someone talk to that girl the way doctors and nurses talked to me. I would never let someone treat her the way I was treated. I would fight so hard for her. & maybe that's why I fight so hard for myself now. Because somewhere inside of me, that little girl is still there.

She deserves happiness. She deserves kindness. She deserves to feel safe. & she deserves a life filled with more than just surviving what happened to her. I think little me would be incredibly proud of the person I've become. She wouldn't know what was coming, but she also wouldn't know how strong we would become.

So as September approaches, I'm allowing myself to feel all of the emotions because I'm still here. & I'm still fighting for the happy that little girl in me deserves. ❤️
