X has been useful for me, despite its underlying toxicity. But what Grok can freely create is a step too far. So goodbye for now….

As I try to put 20 years into 500 words, I came across this from my masters research notes: “…social action provides a practical way of thinking-a holistic view that ensures people are at the centre of the analysis, instead of the systems around them”#DragonsDen showcases this👏

#OliversCampaign A person who doesn’t use spoken words can communicate in many other ways. We just need to slow down, be patient, and truly listen with our eyes, ears, hearts, and minds. Always treat everyone with respect and dignity. #Health #Socialcare #medicine

I create change by standing in the middle, taking your lived experiences into policy rooms and bringing the truth back out. Disabled people deserve to shape the system, not be shaped by it. Join me. Your voice matters. #DisabledActivism #DisabilityRights #Inclusion #Disabled

My boy, moving mountains 💙#CalebsCauseNI #Hope #Proud
Caleb’s speech from yesterday. From the boy who cannot hold conversation but can read. This shows how much our young people can achieve and can be included when the right support exists. #CalebsCauseNI #Hope #Parliament #Disability @niexecutive

I watched the Motion today “Free School Meals Provision”. I’m confused on so many levels. Why do Motions in relation to our children get so sidetracked? I’m genuinely curious. I appreciate members efforts to keep the debate on track, but surely this cannot be a political issue?

Alma - you are beacon for change and hope.
I won the Change Maker award in the House of Lords last night. Stunned! I dedicate this to very young person and their family. They’re the real change makers. Proud that our campaign has been recognised in the UK. #CalebsCauseNI #Hope #Parliament @niexecutive

Listen up. Pay attention. Act. @joanne_sansome, Eoin Kelly @Mencap_NI and Farah Black provide an unequivocal and indisputable case for change.
Here's some of our fantastic speakers from Friday's event summing up why it's so important to have the Disabled People's Parliament - a platform for disabled people to raise issues and highlight the need for change. ⬇️

It’s a real privilege to be at the 2025 #DisabledPeoplesParliament in Stormont today. It’s important that we hear from experts in disability and that’s people with lived experience to ensure that deaf and disabled people are fully involved in decisions that affect them.

Celebs enter the jungle tonight with limited access to their usual comforts. But for Deaf and disabled people, the real world is already a jungle — full of barriers and exclusion every day. What’s your “jungle” experience? Share below. ✊♿️🌿 #ImACeleb #Disabled #EndAbleism
