Happy #GratisTuesday everyone.

Today I am incredibly grateful for strong women who not only lead their communities, but are generous and gracious in sharing experiences, insights, humour and stories.

I learn so much when I embrace community, rather than thinking exclusion and 'my old ideas or nothing!' are the only way to live and think. New perspectives help me be a better teacher, mentor, community member and person.

Carly Findlay OAM, disability and facial equality activist is someone I deeply respect, and I learn a lot from her books, talks and interviews. This week I watched Carly in conversation with Imani Barbarin, an African-American artist and disability rights activist. The lively and stimulating conversation includes activism, art and being loud, proud disabled women of colour. This conversation is captioned, and has visual descriptions included.

Who are the thought-provoking, important people in your lives who help you learn, rethink and expand your understanding of the world? Who are the loud, proud activists you respect? Let's share together and amplify accounts and voices. Have a great day!

Today is #GratisTuesday and I am grateful for Peter Mallon !

LOOK AT THIS GORGEOUS HOODIE HE GOT ME!! Both Annetta AND #CullyApproved as a birthday present. Even delayed in the post, it's perfect. Thank you! 💜🐾💜

It's #GratisTuesday

Today I am grateful for a gorgeous place to live. Moving to lutruwita / Tasmania was one of the best decisions of my life, we love it here.

Have a gorgeous day everyone.
