July is Disability Pride Month 🌈♿

As a Neurodivergent person, this month holds a special place in my heart. I first found out about Disability Pride Month last year, where I enjoyed attending Perth's first ever Disability Pride Fest. Unfortunately, that event did not run this year due to lack of funding, but I hope I’ll get to attend in years to come!

Disability Pride Month is about celebrating who we are; our differences, our strengths, and the communities that make us feel seen and valued. But it’s not about ignoring the real challenges. For me, it’s about holding both truths, acknowledging the struggles while also honouring the strength and connection.

This month (and every month), I’m proud to support young people and families with disabilities.

And yes… I’m posting this right at the end of the month (hello, ADHD brain 🧠✨). For me, sharing this message late is still better than not sharing it at all, because celebrating disability pride isn’t just for July, it’s every day.
