I may be many things, but I’m definitely not “confined to my wheelchair” @BBCWalesNews @BBCWales

As a disabled journalist working at the BBC, you often think you’re turning a corner on disability representation - and then you see language being used like this

@WeAreMotivation Chair Richard Hawkes in his usual headdress. Something we're very used to in Board meetings.

Just another quiet @britishasiantst @elephantfamily evening - showing my elephant hat to the King and Queen, chatting to Brian May & Anita Dobson, holding a real Oscar and posing like an A-list film star with some elephants...!!

'For us to bring change, women with disabilities must be at the planning table,' said @LMulombi in our recent workshop. In this #OpEd, our member @ElizabethOmbati reiterates that concerns of women with disabilities must be made visible, in wider spaces https://t.co/4nT13Q9ZRx

It's #InternationalDayofEducation! 📚

We must not forget about the millions of children in LMICs in need of #AssistiveTechnology, such as #hearingaids, #wheelchairs and #eyeglasses.

#AT allows children to enjoy a full life and access #education.

It's a basic human right. ✊
