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👏

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.

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.

@Phoenix_ed_ni delivered powerful evidence to the Education Committee today. Really impressed with Malaki Beggs and Victoria Black - wonderful to hear directly from young people - you were brilliant. Well done 👏🏻. And credit to the inspiring Emma Shaw. This is critical evidence and really merits a watch 📺
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?
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

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.
