Today is #IDPWD22 I’m a @HFLabour@twitter.com Disabled Cllr at @LBHF@twitter.com + the Lead member for Inclusive Community Engagement and Coproduction. Ableism has no place in civil society, all Disabled people must have the right to #equity and #inclusion, it’s known as the social model of disability.

Being an Inclusive Filmmaker requires giving value to people with disability in your cast, crew and production offices. It means thinking beyond just casting someone on screen with a physical disability. It means acknowledging. It means consulting. It means asking questions. It means mentoring. It means being kind & welcoming. It means being understanding. It means making way for the entire spectrum of voices.
Through my own life challenges, I realised how difficult it had been for me to achieve my filmmaking ambitions. I found that I was resilient. I often fell, and I would just get up and keep going.
So it became my desire to help filmmakers avoid similar obstacles. I want all filmmakers to feel empowered to achieve. All the work I do, is to support that vision, and hopefully make some cool films along the way.

It's the #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisability... but what should you do if your child starts asking questions about someone who is disabled?

We love this great advice from What Happened To You? author James Catchpole: https://www.booktrust.org.uk/news-and-features/features/2021/april/what-happened-to-you-what-to-do-when-a-child-asks-someone-about-their-disability/ #IDPWD22

Not all disabilities are visible.

People with disabilities may or may not wish to disclose this information.

Putting strategies in place to support the success of students and staff with disabilities usually ends up contributing to the success of ALL. #IDPWD22 https://twitter.com/wrdsb/status/1599049090007900160

These disabled days just focus so much on how valuable we are and it’s like why do you have to put a value on me? Why do I have to be of use to people to be protected and treated as human in society? #IDPWD22

Today is International Day for Disabled People. I'm hopeful but a bit tired. We give up so much time for free & sacrifice privacy, most of which you'll never hear about. I'm so grateful for everyone I chip away on this train with.

All we ask (& at times feels like begging) to be allowed to live an ordinary life. Once I'm on that level, it's up to me to make it 'pazzaz' (to quote @PantiBliss)

It's not on us to 'overcome', it's on everyone else to get up to speed with us

International day of people with disabilities. Do know that 1 in 5 persons has a disability and 80% are an invisible disability?

“When other people see you as a third-class citizen, the first thing you need is a belief in yourself and the knowledge that you have rights. The next thing you need is a group of friends to fight back with.”

“The peculiar drama of my life has placed me in a world that by and large thinks it would be better if people like me did not exist. My fight has been for accommodation, the world to me and me to the world.”

On this International Day of Persons w/ Disabilities, remember those who are completely dependent on others for all aspects of daily living, who cannot make decisions about the future, who will never work or live independently. Truly our most vulnerable. THEY MATTER, TOO #IDPWD22

It's the International Day of People with Disabilities today, so we'd love to hear about your recommendations of great children's books which feature disability in an authentic way... #IDPWD22

On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, please remember those who are completely dependent on others for all aspects of daily living, who cannot make decisions about the future, only the present, who will never work or live independently. They matter too #IDPWD22

Lighting buildings purple and inaccessible themes for the day to ‘celebrate us’ is more about making able bodied people feel great about themselves than disabled people equal. #RightsNotCharity #IDPWD22 https://twitter.com/mcvillykr/status/1598561880439918592
